Personal & Professional Campus Events
1. Tax Symposium — BAP/IMA is hosting the Tax Symposium for ALL COB students interested in Accounting Careers — Jan. 17th, in Austin Hall 183, Dinner included
Objective:
To increase the exposure of students to taxation as a viable career path within the accounting profession and inform students about some of the various career opportunities in taxation. Hopefully, this event will help to cast careers in taxation in a positive light and move students away from the stereotypes of tax as either 1) a boring career made up only of mundane/routine tax return preparation or 2) a career to be fearful of in which one can expect to constantly struggle to deal with an overwhelmingly technical and complex set of tax laws.
Participants:
Rachel Bosworth, Grant Thornton (Portland)
Neil Byzick, Ingle Byzick and Associates (Corvallis)
William Ramirez, Tax Executives Institute and Portland State University (Portland)
Peter Stephens, PWC (Portland)
Nicholas Warner – Internal Revenue Service (Portland)
R.L. Widmer, Moss Adams (Eugene)
2. Moss Adams Tabling & Discussion about Summer Leadership– January 23rd with a table set up in Austin as well as hosting resume reviews in Austin 124. Moss Adams will be there from about 10am – 3pm.
