As we begin a new year and new semester, we would like to
mention what an awesome Fall semester we had. The number of women in the
accounting program has grown from 2011-2012 and we have had wonderful events
recruiting more women and getting to know the women who are currently in the program.
2012 Fall Events
Jr Core Luncheon
MaCC and Bachelor students lunch
Jr Core Study Break
Decide to Decide Freshman Event
Alumni Dinner
To recap the semester, we started off with an awesome
luncheon with the Jr Core women. The first few weeks can be a bit overwhelming
and seem daunting, and this luncheon was a great opportunity for our committee
members to share their memories and experiences from the Jr Core and to offer
advice and reassurance.
We then had a luncheon with the MAcc and Bachelor accounting
female students. During this luncheon, we had the opportunity to hear from
Molly Zarbock, a BYU alum. She left us all with her top 10 things to remember…
During the first Jr Core exam week, we met up with the Jr
Core women between exams for a “study break”. Everyone met in the Tanner
Building for snacks, encouragement, and a much needed break.
This year’s freshman event was our “Decide to Decide” event.
As mentioned in a prior post, this event was a great opportunity to inform
freshman and sophomore women of the benefits of an education and career in
accounting. We had over 100 women in attendance and we’re hoping to see them in
the program in the future!
Our 2nd Annual Alumni Dinner finished off our
semester on the perfect note. We are all so blessed to be a part of such an
amazing university and program and to have such a vast network of alumni.
