“I cannot adequately convey just how beneficial this trip was for me, but it definitely opened my eyes; and I think what I learned in D.C. will continue to have an impact on me in the future.”
- Jeff Lemanksy, MAcc
“The D.C. trip most definitely made me a more marketable individual entering the profession of public accounting, and made me more knowledgeable about our federal government — more than I would have ever learned in a traditional classroom setting.”
- Brynn Twinney, MAcc
