Accounting Networking Social a Success
The Accounting Society’s Networking Social is an annual event where students have the opportunity to network with various professionals from accounting firms. This year, we had 16 firms and more than 80 students in attendance. Adelphi students took this great opportunity to advance their careers by making connections with professionals. We look forward to the Accounting Society’s annual volleyball event in the spring, at which firms and students will have the opportunity to continue developing their relationships. It’s all about the networking!

Students Meet With Robert B. Willumstad
A group of students had the opportunity to meet with Adelphi University Board of Trustees Chair Emeritus Robert B. Willumstad '05 (Hon.) during his visit to campus in September. Seven were undergraduate students in the highly selective Willumstad Leadership Scholars Program: Shelly Barkan, Michalis Clark, Amanda Frånstedt, Jonay Jackson, Kathryn Lynn, Orel Sims and Danelya Zholdasbekova. Students in this yearlong program focus on leadership development activities and work together on a team project that is either for Adelphi or an external organization. The scholars were joined by two additional students: management major Joseph Gagnon and graduate student Barbara Quagliardi.
