Area High School Students Explore Accounting

Over 260 area high school students explored
careers in accounting with faculty and professionals from the
Michigan Association of Certified Public Accountants Friday, Feb.
22, on the campus of Western Michigan University.

The event at WMU's Fetzer Center was co-sponsored by the WMU
Department of Accountancy and the Michigan Association of Certified
Public Accountants. It outlined for area juniors and seniors
what the accountancy profession entails and included hands-on activities for the students and a session on saving money effectively.

“The students learn the requirements and rewards of our
profession, including the exceptional career opportunities and great
compensation," says Ola Smith, WMU associate professor of
accountancy and the coordinator of this year’s event. "We want to
make sure these students are aware of the limitless possibilities."

 

Western Michigan University is an equal opportunity/affirmative
action institution.
