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.

Highlights for Next Year:

Meet the Firms
This event usually happens on a friday
evening in the end of september in the Gasset
Fittness 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 Aulmni 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.

opportunities right from the
beginning to start planning their
future.
