Undergraduate Business students interested in opportunities for accounting and A&IS majors, that have not yet accepted accounting internships or full-time positions, were invited to attend the event. To help students prepare for MTF, the SCUAA organized a Pre-MTF workshop the Thursday before the event. The event began with a talk from storytelling expert, Corey Rosen, where he advised students on how to craft and communicate their own story in a way that feels authentic and natural. The goal is to help students prepare for conversations with recruiters at Meet the Firms by learning how to effectively communicate their experiences, qualifications, personal brand, and strengths. Many students attended this workshop where Accounting Association officers also presented helpful information on attire, conduct, conversation topics, and resume content. In addition, Jessica Li (Assistant Director - Career Development Specialist, Business & Entrepreneurship, Career Center) presented essential information about resume writing, resources, and career center offerings available to students. A Q&A session followed with many students staying after the workshop to consult with officers and staff.

233 students registered to attend the 2026 MTF, with over 170 students completing a check-in survey upon arrival. This event served a great number of students. Students overall enjoyed the number of firms that attended, and some students indicated receiving internship offers following the event. Students that completed a feedback survey were entered in a raffle to win Door Dash gift cards.  Beautiful Roberts (Accounting class of 2027) and Vy Pham (Accounting class of 2029) were the winners of the raffle!
