A s Associate Director of Strategic Partnerships, I am deeply committed to student success and to creating meaningful connections that will shape students’ professional journeys. I invite you to engage with the School of Accountancy (SOA) at KSU and help us prepare the next generation of accounting leaders. Being involved with the SOA offers many rewards: (1) it allows professionals to share expertise with students, (2) it broadens students’ exposure to real-world experiences, and (3) it strengthens the support we provide to our students. There are many ways to get involved. Financial contributions make a lasting impact, whether through general support or by funding scholarships that help reduce students’ financial burdens while opening doors to greater opportunities. Recruitment is another powerful way to engage. We are dedicated to helping students find the right career fit, and you can play a key role by becoming an SOA Partner. Partners not only support our students but also connect with them directly through on-campus activities. Opportunities include: (1) registering for our Accounting Career Fair, (2) participating in recruitment events, (3) offering internships, and more. For those seeking even more direct interaction, we also welcome guest speakers and mentors who are eager to inspire and guide future professionals. The generosity of our supporters ensures that the SOA can continue to deliver exceptional educational experiences. After learning more about the MAcc Class of 2027, I hope you’ll consider joining us in shaping their success. To explore ways to get involved, please feel free to contact me directly at ayork23@kennesaw.edu.
