Finals Week:
Becker CPA wants to wish everyone good luck on their exams this week. Becker Rep Katie Wilson will be on campus (AH Career Success Center) Wednesday from 11 to 1 with snacks and goodies! Stop by for a little finals relief or with any questions about the CPA exam!

Acct Opportunity for course credit and experience:
From Brooks Peacock (read attached document for details about this opportunity)

I think I will need about three (3) students for each project.  If a student performs well they can participate in all three projects, but there isn’t a requirement to participate in more than one.

Each student should plan on about 30 hours of work per project.  Part A will run during winter 2017, part b will run during spring 2017, and part c will run during the summer of 2017.

Part A & B will be completed here on campus.
Part C will most likely be completed on-site at Mutual of Enumclaw duringthe summer.

I want to interview each interested student either in-person or over the phone.  Any interested students should contact me via email, brooks.peacock@bs.oregonstate.edu.  We can then set up a time to talk.

Thanks again.
All the best,
