Accounting

Association
What is the Accounting
Association?
Many students have never even heard of
the Accounting Association, let alone
what we represent. Below is a brief
summary of who we are and what we do.
The Accounting Association is an on
campus group here at Salem State
University run by the students, for the
students. The executive board is
comprised of 5 key people: Kaite Noll
(President), Boris Lyubarskiy (Vice
President), Srinidhi Yerramaneni
(Marketing), Isaac Ardon (Treasurer), and
Norbert Tschakert (Faculty Advisor)
It is designed to encourage professional
interest for those students who desire a
career in the business field by offering
lectures and programs geared towards
accounting.

Questions and
Answers:
Q. What does being a member
consist of?
A. Being a member of the
Accounting Association means
showing support at events and
giving feedback that we can use to
help make the department better.
We hold weekly meetings that
anyone can attend and participate
in.

Highlights for Next Year:

Meet the Firms
This event will take place on Thursday
September 22nd in the Gassett Fitness Center
gym. Meet the Firms gives Accounting and
Finance students the opportunity to meet with
firm from the surrounding area and give them a
short elevator speech to hopefully gain an
interview or job offer. Over the last two year,
student participation has doubled from 50 to 100,
and the number of firms that participate has
increased from 13 to 19. This year we are hoping
to have around 25 firms attend.

Alumni Dinner
The Alumni Dinner takes place in November
and serves as a casual dinner to allow students to
network with alumni who now work in the field
in local accounting firms. Networking is a great
way to introduce students to the professionals
without being in an interview scenario.

Q. What are some benefits of

joining the Accounting
Association?
A. Lots of networking and having
first contact with potential
employers. It's also a great thing to
have on your resume.
Q. What do you want to achieve
through the accounting
association?
A. Change in our department
because a lot of our students are
unhappy with the way the
scheduling is done. We also aren't
prepared for the real world of
given help about internships until
it is almost too late. Our students
should be aware of all
opportunities right from the
beginning to start planning their
future.
