The Student Leadership Academy was an amazing opportunity that helped me gain a great sense of confidence and improve my communication skills. In addition, the Student Leadership Academy enabled me to build valuable relationships and learn from others' experiences and advice. I would strongly recommend any students considering a career in accounting to attend this event!"

This experience has given me even more respect for everyone in this profession and has motivated me to keep fighting to get to where I want in life."

Past Student Leadership Academy Participant

During the [Future CPA Internship] Bootcamp where we had the panel of guests, I learned a lot about the career as a whole. We got to ask a bunch of questions, so I learned a lot about different areas of accounting. I met so many students like me and I extended my network professionally on LinkedIn, and that was huge for me as well."
