    Dear Faculty,

     

    Thank you for helping to make last year’s Student Research Symposium a success! Over 150 undergraduate and graduate students presented research in oral presentations, round-table discussions, and poster sessions.

     

    We are looking forward to this year’s SRS, which will take place on April 29 and 30, 2016. Please mark your calendars!

     

    Abstract submission will be open from November 20, 2015 to March 25, 2016. We welcome submissions from students enrolled in Fall 2015 courses. Professors will be notified when their students submit their abstracts.

     

    Please help us publicize the SRS by talking with your students and distributing the attached flyer.

     

    Thank you very much for your support!

     

    Sincerely,

    The Student Research Symposium Committee

    Demand Increase for Accoutants

    September 4, 2015

    Friday Sept 4 2015

    Average starting salaries for accountants are increasing 4-5.3%.

    Difficulty in finding and retaining good talent has caused many employers to embrace flexibility for accounting professionals, DeNisco said. He said allowing remote access for employees and flexible hours may be necessary for firms and companies to attract and retain talent. Employers also are bringing back alumni from their companies and firms to work on a part-time or interim basis, DeNisco said. – See more at: http://www.journalofaccountancy.com/news/2015/sep/accounting-salaries-rise-201512959.html#sthash.s24uKVEe.dpuf

     

    Students note the use of the phrase, good talent!
