On January 16, 2019, accounting students were invited to DePaul’s first Corporate Accounting Night, organized by the School of Accountancy & MIS and sponsored by the Accounting Club. The event gave students the opportunity to network with organizations and corporations for job and internship opportunities outside of public accounting. Close to 100 students attended the event, dressed in professional attire and armed with their resumes, to connect with the 18 employers present.
Each employer came with representatives to promote current or future opportunities. Participants included Coca Cola, Discover, Walgreen’s, Baxter International, Charles Schwab, Abbott, Financial Executives International, GATX Corporation, the Institute of Management Accountants, JLL, and more.
Student attendees were also entered into a raffle to receive two tickets to the Museum of Science and Industry.
