What a fun winter semester we had last year! With so much
diversity in the women in the accounting program, we used this semester to
address different circumstances of those of us already in the program.
2012 Winter Events
Missionary Luncheon
Jr. Core Study Break
Acc
200/ 310 Info Session
When President Monson announced the change in age for sister
missionaries, we knew that our women would be affected and have questions about
how a mission would affect their progress in the accounting program. We met
together with women who had mission calls, were considering serving, or had
recently returned home from a mission.
As we ate a yummy lunch of Café Rio, returned sisters spoke of their
experience serving and how they went about planning around the jr. core and
MAcc program. Professor Larson then
spoke on the plausibility of serving and how BYU would accommodate for
missions. We served up Cold Stone ice cream to finish off the event, hoping to
leave everyone full of understanding, comfort, and, of course, food.
Knowing the junior core students needed another break from
exams, we met with these women to give them some time off from studying. We
provided tasty treats and social interaction to these study-bound students.
We also held another information session for women taking
accounting 200 or 310 interested in pursuing a degree in accounting. The
event’s purpose was to let women know about what life is like in the program
and how it might be a great fit for them. Brittan Herndon, a student in the junior
core, talked about “A Day in the Life of the Junior Core” and spoke about the
expectations and realities of life in the junior core. We also had a panel of
our committee members to answer questions that the women attending might have
about applying to the program, job opportunities, or anything else. After the
event we all enjoyed a Cold Stone ice cream sundae bar and mingling with each
other. It was an amazing end to a great school year!
