Faculty will frequently arrange for guest speakers to meet with our students. Often these are alumni who are willing to meet with students to help them discuss various career fields. The second general activity is the Accounting Department's work with public accounting firms. The department helps schedule recruiting visits, which requires extensive work with the students and the employers during the fall term. At local and regional professional meetings throughout the year, the faculty keep in contact with the personnel who recruit at the University.
Faculty also play a central role in advising students about graduate school.
In the spring of their junior years, the faculty presents a program to students to explain the opportunities available for post-graduate study. The associate dean and department heads review the academic performance of juniors to identify students whose temperament and credentials suggest they might be good candidates for leading graduate programs, in order to provide students with a greater awareness and understanding of the many options available to them.
