My graduate assistantship in the College of Business helps me not only financially but also academically. Currently, I am collecting and analyzing accounting data for a team of professors’ research projects, which enables me to learn how firms comply with the latest accounting regulations in their financial statements. Working closely with professors in E-course and Excel has also helped me become technology savvy.”
