Accounting Students Association: Reinvigorated, Reorganized

Members of the Accounting Student Association

During their time at the University of Delaware, students are hustling to get 150 credit hours in four years, while participating in social events, athletic events and even outside jobs.

Even with all of that, the members of the Accounting Student Organization are getting a head start on a life-long commitment to service and giving back. The ASA buddy program pairs juniors and seniors, who have internships and full-time job offers, with first and second-year accounting majors. From resume review, mock interviews and general advice, our upperclassmen help the department maintain its culture of mentorship and service.
