Recruitment Events
The MAC team works closely with students and employers to develop job opportunities in all fields of accounting. As a result of the program's professional relationships, career related activities, and high quality education, our students have been very successful in career placement.
MAC students have access to a wide range of career services programs and events throughout the year. Kelly Hardy, the MAC program’s associate director of career services, dedicates her time as a career counseling resource for all MAC students.
Tour of Cities
Students participate in career-related visits to southeastern cities for exposure to a wide array of professional opportunities. Cities visited include: Atlanta, Greensboro, Charlotte and Washington D.C. Trips are taken during the summer prior to the start of the MAC Program in the fall.
