Information About Purposes of The Accounting Society The purposes of The Accounting Society are to provide its members opportunities for • professional growth • service • social interaction and • recognition of academic achievement. These objectives are accomplished through the activities of the organization and the participation of its members. Seniors must focus on the job search and prepare to enter the job market and the profession. Underclassmen need assistance with career choices. All students need to know more about the opportunities for professional certifications and to have opportunities to network with professionals, alumni, and peers through meetings and social functions. Qualifications for Membership Membership in The Accounting Society is open to ANY student, graduate or undergraduate, who is interested in and would benefit from the activities of the organization. Recognizing Academic Achievement Special recognition will be made each semester for students who achieve the
traditional qualifications of the Accounting Honor Society, namely: What to Expect During the Semester Plan now to participate in the meetings which are being planned for the year including Interviewing and Resume Tips Meetings and tours provide members opportunities to see practical application of information they are learning in classes. And volunteering to assist others with the preparation of their income tax returns can be a great "ministry!" Be Active in Something! The School of Business is fortunate to have several active, successful clubs: the Administrative Management Society (AMS), the student chapter of the American Marketing Association (AMA), the student chapter of the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA), and The Accounting Society.
