FSU Accounting Society
Attends Regional Conference
By Ron Davis
Five members of the
FSU Accounting Society
and the group’s advisor
participated in the National
Association of Black
Accountants Regional
Conference in Atlanta last
semester. The students were
Alisa Sands, Alisa Elery,
Johari Brown, Tara Tyson
and myself The advisor is
Ms. Garistine Davis.
The purpose of the
conference was to enhance
career opportunities for
African-American students.
Students had the
opportunity to interview
with Fortune 500
companies. In addition to
interviews, we attended
seminars and workshops on
career enhancement,
networking, as well as other
skills. We were able to bring
this information back and
share it with the rest of the
Accounting Society. We
also shared what we learned
with Career Services so that
all FSU students would be
able to benefit from our
experiences. Three hundred
students attended the
conference from 20
universities in the
Southeastern United States.
FSU students
interviewed with various
Fortune 500 companies.
Each student was
interviewed by at least one
of the Big Four Accounting
Firms;
Price WaterhouseCoopers,
Emst&Young, KPMG and
Deloitte & Touche. Alisa
Elery interviewed with all
of the Big Four Accounting
firms.
The senior students,
Johari Brown, Alisa Elery,
Alisa Sands, and Ron
Davis, have been invited to
the next phase of
interviewing at the
corporate offices of at least
one firm. We are currently
scheduled for interviews in
Atlanta, New York and
Washington, D.C. These
students are also still being
considered for additional
interviews and career
opportunities. Tara Tyson, a
junior, has been invited to
an all-expense paid
Leadership Camp with
Price WaterhouseCoopers.
The FSU contingent had
the opportunity to interact
with students and faculty
from other universities. The
conference gave us a
chance to see how we
measured up against the
best students in the
Southeast. This opportunity
allowed us to exhibit
“Bronco Pride, Nationwide.”
It was clear to everyone in
attendance that FSU students
are easily among the best in
the nation.
The Accounting Society
looks forward to next
year’s conference where
they will be able to enhance
their career opportunities
and show Corporate
America that the best
students are at FSU.
All accounting majors,
regardless of their
classification, are
encouraged to join the
Accounting Society so they
may take advantage of
workshops, seminars and
other such conferences.
Meetings are the first and
third Wednesday of each
month.

belongings in the room to
prevent damage.”
Students were informed
that the work will start on
Jan. 21 and will be from
9a.m. to 5p.m. Residents
will not be allowed until
the end of the day.
The choice was given to
Harris residents either to
remain in their rooms
during the construction or
to move to the building’s
basement. Noel said that
each move would be no
longer than two weeks.
Smith residents may not
be required to move, as
work on their building will
begin during spring break.
However, they were
informed to remove
everything from their
closets before the break.
Work in the rooms will
be from 9a.m. to 5p.m. and
residents will have access to
their rooms at the end of
each day.
From Page 1
“We will move seven
rooms at a time and will
provide the boxes and the
manpower to help students
move,” said Noel. “We’re
here today to find out what
your concerns are.”
Students’s Concerns
“Not only are we
inconvienced by having to
move, but we can’t study
during the daytime due to
the noise,” said Aisha
Brooks, a Resident
Assistant in Harris. “What
more can you do to help
us?”
“We could have been
better in letting you guys
know what was going to
happen,” Hemmingway
said. “We will do better in
the future.”
Other students were
concerned about their
safety.
Noel explained his “zero
tolerance” policy. “No
contact between students
and workers will be
tolerated whatsoever. If a
worker gives you any
problems, call me and he’s
gone,” Noel promised.
Students were also warned
to “choose your dress
wisely.”
“If it affects us, why
don’t we have a say so,”
asked Nicole Davis, the
Vice-President of Harris
Hall.
Noel explained that the
process from initially
receiving the money to
starting work and getting all
construction contracts
together was extensive and
took a long time. “We are
five years behind,” he said.
Harris’ Resident
Director, Annie Burke,
answered questions
concerning the condition of
the building’s basement.
All questions concerning
the construction done on
the halls should be directed
to Winston Noel at (910)
672-1977.
