Recruitment

The School of Accountancy hosts two annual events to foster relationships between accounting students and firms. Meet the Firms is a career fair held held at the beginning of the fall semester, specifically for accounting students. The event provides an opportunity for students to learn more about careers and opportunities within the accounting field, as well as network with representatives from accounting firms, companies, and other professional organizations in order to develop future contacts and employment prospects. The event also provides recruiting firms a chance to meet and connect with potential candidates from USM to fill positions within their organizations for full-time positions, internships, and leadership program opportunities. The Spring Meet and Greet is held at the beginning of each spring semester and provides the same opportunities in a more casual environment.
