Center for Audit Quality Opportunity for young adults interested in pursuing a career in auditing and accounting: the Center for Audit Quality and career exploration organization Roadtrip Nation are offering an experience that will send young people interested in accounting and auditing on a three-week adventure to interview auditing professionals and discover what this career has to offer.

Filmed for the Roadtrip Nation public television series, this experience will introduce a diverse group of young people—and TV audiences—to the wide range of paths in auditing and accounting while also working to dispel some of the common stereotypes tied to these careers. Selected participants will get a chance to sit down and talk to auditing professionals at all stages of their careers and get the advice needed to blaze their own career paths. The documentary will air on PBS stations in late Spring 2020.

Applicants can apply at the following link by Friday, April 19, 2019:http://roadtripnation.caq-roadtrip.sgizmo.com/s3/ .   For additional information, check out RTN’s FAQs. https://roadtripnation.com/participate/faq

Facts about the OSU Beaver Store
It is a student-governed nonprofit company supporting the OSU community since being founded in 1914. It is 1 of 5 independent nonprofit bookstores remaining – the mission is to serve the students. The company’s profits are returned to OSU students through the “Back to Beavs” discount on textbooks (over $1M).  http://osubeaverstore.com/BackToBeavs/
