The accounting students of Katz Business School made Fort Lewis College proud in Washington DC! They prepared, they thought on their toes, and they networked like true professionals at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation(FDIC), and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB). They can also tell you how U.S. currency is made, after witnessing it firsthand at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing.

Big thanks to those who took time out of their busy schedules to make thoughtful presentations and provide helpful career advice: Vassilios Karapanos, Jacob Sandoval, Chelsey Duggar, CPA, Ryan Billingsley, and Jack Potthast. A special shout-out goes to Fort Lewis alumnus Andrew Cleve for his continued support.

We have high hopes for this group of Skyhawks!
