Accounting Advisory Council
The department of accounting builds strong partnerships with our alumni and the firms they represent in public and corporate accounting through our Advisory Council. Companies are able to:
- Obtain valuable exposure to some of the top business students in the country
- Create strong recognition for their company amongst our highly qualified student body
- Gain immediate access to research developments as they emerge
Advisory Council members provide the department with much needed financial and other support. Members also participate by providing advice and counsel to accounting students and faculty. The Advisory Council allows firms to participate in a variety of ways that directly impact many accounting students annually.
