STUDENT NEWS
BAP The Iota Tau Chapter of Beta Alpha Psi had an excellent year in terms of events and activities. In November 2021, Beta Alpha Psi International recognized Iota Tau as a Superior Chapter. Students completed a collective 878 professional development hours and 796 community service hours during the 2021-2022 academic year. KSU’s BAP chapter has nearly 90 members. NABA The School of Accountancy has a National Association of Black Accountants (NABA) chapter. NABA encourages black students to discover the tremendous benefits of studying accounting, and exposes its members to a vast array of career opportunities and social outlets. MACC The 10th cohort of the Master of Accounting program (our 3rd cohort of the new 2 in 2 MAcc program) graduated in May 2021. The 2 in 2 program sees students earning their MAcc degrees and sitting for the CPA exam in two semesters, which all 41 students in cohort 3 accomplished. Meanwhile, the 11th cohort currently has 37 students enrolled.
Two inspirational speakers hosted sessions with the MAcc students this year: Michael J. Coles in Fall 2021 and Kevin Raemakers in Spring 2022. Both speakers’ messages resonated with the students, and many said the talks motivated them to push harder when they felt discouraged in the 2 in 2 program. The MAcc has achieved a 100 percent career placement rate for the Class of 2022. Each of the 37 students secured a career placement by mid-October 2021, the earliest ever for the MAcc program. Finally, the MAcc program experienced an important first this year when Tim Powell became the first student in the program to ever pass all four parts of the CPA Exam by mid-March, just five months after his first exam. SOA FALL ACCOUNTING CAREER FAIR Held at the start of the fall semester, the SOA Fall 2021 Accounting Career Fair provided 145 accounting students access to 32 SOA employer partners.
