Lifelong Learning Summit
Come back to learn with the Pack at our Lifelong Learning Annual Summit.
A day for expert faculty, public accounting and industry leaders, and Jenkins MAC alumni to learn, share and network. Hosted in collaboration with NC State Executive Education.
In 2024, more than 125 accounting professionals participated in the October 4 Summit at the Talley Student Union on NC State University’s main campus.
“Coming back to NC State and being able to reconnect with people… and also learn about emerging topics… I don’t think you get that in other CPEs.”
Brendan Madigan, CPA (MAC ’16)
CFO, Limited Run Games
