Rachel Morgan, BBA, MS '21, found her stride in accounting early in life. Working at a car dealership in her hometown of Troy, Ohio, as a teenager, she was exposed to her manager's many duties of running the business, including handling the books.
"I thought that was super interesting, so I took an accounting class at my high school, and thought, 'Oh, I could do this,'" she said. "I liked the rules, how straightforward it was. It just worked for my brain."
"Summer leadership conferences tend to feed into internships and are a great way for firms to assess and train the up-and-coming talent through interview practice and developing different professional skills," said Morgan.
The first conference was a success, with 14 firms in attendance, including the "Big 4" of Deloitte, Ernst & Young, KPMG and PricewaterhouseCoopers.
Just as UC Accounting Club members "graduate" to Beta Alpha Psi as upperclassmen, so did Morgan's leadership opportunities. She served as Beta Alpha Psi president her senior year, attending the national organization's retreat in Washington, D.C.
