Students Learn Why “Accounting Rocks” at MACPA’s High School Leaders Conferences

High school is an important time in a student’s life because it is usually when career decisions are made. To promote and inspire students to choose the accounting profession, the MACPA hosts High School Leaders Conferences every year at various colleges and universities throughout Michigan.

The conferences are daylong events packed with exciting and upbeat presentations by experienced CPAs about how a future in accounting impacts their lives. Students, teachers, principals and counselors enjoy a day of fun and learning with plenty of time for questions about the profession. In addition, high school students are able to network with college students to get a feel for what’s ahead.

This year’s series of conferences promises to include even more excitement and fun with the theme “Accounting Rocks.” In addition, the Conferences will be held in the fall and spring. The dates and locations currently confirmed include the following:
  • Friday, October 17, 2008 – Oakland University, Rochester
  • Tuesday, November 18, 2008 – Michigan State University, East Lansing
  • Wednesday, December 10, 2008 – Wayne State University, Detroit
