STUDENT DEVELOPMENT, ENGAGEMENT, & ACHIEVEMENTS

The spring semester was full of opportunities for students to engage with the accounting profession to learn more about the industry, network, and prepare for their roles after graduation. Along the way, our students and the Accounting and Business Law Department achieved many noteworthy accomplishments.

KPMG Partner Panel Event

The College of Business hosted a KPMG partner panel and networking lunch for students this spring semester. Dean Brenda Flannery facilitated the panel and focused on questions centered around the culture of KPMG, attributes of the ideal candidate, and career development. The panelists included Kweku Bankah (Partner, Technology Assurance), Cindy Brooks (1983 Alumna and Senior Partner, Advisory Practice), and James Powell (Managing Partner, Minneapolis Office). This event was an excellent opportunity for students to network with senior leaders from the Minneapolis office and other KPMG professionals.
