"Saunders is always getting better and working to provide more for its students to succeed."
Why did you decide to attend Saunders College of Business at RIT?
I personally enjoy being a part of a smaller school with large school facilities. The professors and staff want to know you and learn about you. I love the atmosphere here. Saunders has tons of events and resources for students to do their best not just academically, but socially too.
What's great about your co-op?
Working at Davie Kaplan was a great experience. I was a tax intern spring 2017. I was the only full time co-op, so I was able to take on more responsibilities. This was a great first co-op. I didn’t have much experience with taxes before and they are super helpful with teaching you everything. Everyone is really nice and available to talk. The interns and a few employees would go get lunch together about once a week and just hang out. DK also hosts happy hours and social events occasionally. The interns were very included in events and encouraged to ask questions.
In what ways has Saunders/RIT prepared you for the job market?
The classes provided at Saunders directly relate to what I was doing in the accounting industry. The main accounting class; financial/managerial, tax, auditing, etc. are very helpful in setting a foundation. Doing the work yourself is the best way to learn, but the classes I have taken and continue to take give me a base of knowledge to go off of.
