SA CPA Career Night

As you know I heavily promoted SA CPa Career Night, Mike and Josh have both joined, Josh organized a meeting to coincide with last Friday's event, here are the results from Amanda Talaat, the Marketing Director.

This is simply outstanding, and shows what we can do with some promotion. I am committed to bringing outstanding accounting professionals to campus and building a bridge from our students to the professional community.To have doubled any other campus and come in second behind Titanic UTSA is a significant accomplishment, I look forward to your experiences there which I would like to publish on this blog.

                UTSA:                    44

    The career worshop was well done. There were 4 really good speakers from different areas of accounting. It allowed for a good question and answer session afterwards that, I feel, was able to help students get an idea of what is needed to enter the profession. I was able to network with a recruiter and 2 other professionals that I have met with before. We also are getting the accounting society rolling. I will be contacting TAMUK this week to try and get a copy of their constitution and by-laws. As you mentioned, the fact that we were the second highest attending college next to UTSA is tremendous.

    The showing of TAMUSA students was great. I personally enjoyed hearing from the CFO from HEB. Before the workshop began he was walking around introducing himself and asking what college we were from, etc. Really a personable guy. The workshop was well organized, appeared to run smoothly, and one of our students won a door prize! We can be a viable source in the San Antonio and surrounding areas. Thanks for the info on this workshop, see you Wednesday – if not before!
