I went to the Accounting Society last Thursday for the general interest meeting. It was a very informative presentation. The senior members did a really good job of outlining the opportunities and advantages they offer. We played an icebreaker game with teams of 4-5 people where we had to see a super close up of a picture and guess what the picture was. The results were very surprising and it was a very fun and bonding experience. We were informed about the requirement to be inducted and what kinds of events were there to participate in. We were also told about the committees and leadership opportunities and allowed to sign up for them.

I personally chose to try to apply to the planning committee and external affairs committee. Hopefully I can get into one. It would be so cool to really get involved. This club is an amazing opportunity for people hoping to get introduced and connected to the accounting industry and has opportunities for all kinds of professional development and education. There is also a lot of philanthropic events that were explained to us and we were told about the rsvp rules for some of the more exclusive events. I am very excited to participate in this club and I’ve already signed up to volunteer at a bake sale! I hope to have many fun and enriching experiences in this club.
