Sophomore Accounting/A&IS Career Fair
The Accounting Department and the SCU Accounting Association (SCUAA) co-hosted the annual Winter Accounting/A&IS Career Fair on Wednesday, February 15, 2023 from 2:00-5:30pm outside in Mission Gardens. Over 60 students registered to attend the event that hosted 18 firms. Attending firms received a digital resume booklet containing 38 student resumes and students received a firm flyer booklet in preparation for the event.

Per a suggestion from the Accounting Advisory Board, the SCUAA created a Passport booklet for the career fair to encourage students to engage with all of the firms in attendance. This passport concept was well received by both the firms and students. Fifteen students that conversed with at least 90% of the firms in attendance qualified to submit their passport for a raffle drawing. Iris Do (A&IS Class of 2025) was the happy winner of the Apple AirPods Pro.
In addition, the SCUAA has been hosting monthly meetings, and also hosted a pre-event networking workshop, to help students prepare and navigate professional interactions with hiring firms. These efforts likely contributed to firms reporting the students were well prepared for the event. Given the current recruiting landscape, the career fair will likely be held earlier next year in January.
