Student Mentor Directory
Sometimes the best advice will come from someone you don’t know, but who’s been in a similar situation. Making decisions about your career isn’t easy, nor is it something to do without weighing your options. So whether you’re looking for tips on how to make an impression in an interview, or deciding whether to go into public accounting or corporate, talk to those that have been there.
The Student Mentor Directory was created to connect students looking for career guidance or advice with members that recall what it’s like and want to support the profession's future CPAs.
If you would like to be included in the Student Mentor Directory, contact Tabitha McDonald.
