    Today's Accounting & Finance Student Conference at Ursinus College, sponsored by the IMA Mid-Atlantic Council, was so much fun! The event brought together students, professionals, and mentors to explore accounting and finance career paths and dive into some critical business concepts, including "Why Do New Businesses Fail?".

    The hands-on activity led by Timothy Trout was my personal favorite! Watching students dive into creating and presenting their companies was really cool. Their enthusiasm and creativity (especially with an 8:30 a.m. start time on a Saturday) was super impressive.

    It was a privilege to be part of a panel alongside friends and colleagues including Daniel Harley, MBA CMA CSCA, Amanda Bernard, and Kathy W.. I also enjoyed meeting the Ursinus professors and instructors who played a big role in the event. Thanks to Jenn Cargo, CPA, CMA, CRFAC, CSCA for organizing the event and for inviting me to be a part of it.


    Other presenters were Tom Gosee, SCORE Mentor, Stefan Laesig, SCORE Mentor, and Rachael Wolfe, Consulting Manager at Kutztown SBDC.

    Overall, it was an awesome way to spend a Saturday!
