Accounting Students Discuss Futures at Meet The Firms

Meet The Firms looked a bit different than usual this year. There were masks, social distancing and virtual meet-and-greets, but the meaningful interactions were the same.

Nearly four dozen UCA accounting students met and discussed their futures with 16 firms from across the state and region Sept. 17.

Students shared their stories, talked about what attracted them to accounting, discussed their aspirations were. Firms shared career and internship opportunities, gave insight into their company cultures and quizzed students on what areas of accounting interested them for their careers.

The event is open to all accounting majors and members of Beta Alpha Psi and the Accounting Club. It is a crucial event for students to secure internships and explore career opportunities following graduation.

Participating firms included: Hudson Cisne & Co., Landmark, ArcBest, Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, Inuvo, Erwin & Co., Dassault Falcon Jet, HoganTaylor, Bell & Co., Onyx Brands, Arkansas Department of Finance & Administration, Acxiom, PwC, Windstream, Frost, EGP and BKD.
