Are community service activities available?
This Fall, the ASO is working in conjunction with COOL at Student Activities and accounting firms to provide opportunities for students to get involved with community events. There will be monthly activities and "donation drives" at some of our meetings. This is a great way to get involved. Recruiters and hiring authorities are impressed by and look for those who are involved in multiple activities. This shows that you are capable of handling many things at one time. In other words, it looks good on your resume!
