Employers go all out for minority undergrads

More effort is going into campus recruiting programs designed to snare the best students of color. The interest isn't all altruistic. Government contracts and market share may depend on improvements in diversity hiring.

Aw, shucks!

"Last month I told you I was planning trips for our accounting club to go and visit various companies. Well, our trip to Deloitte in downtown Batimore was a successful one. We also have a trip planned for Dec. 11 to visit Aronson & Company. Both of these trips were made possible through the contacts I got from my TCPA newsletter. I value the opportunities both direct and indirect presented in our newsletters. I'm glad to be a TCPA member and I also encourage other accounting students to pursue."
— Munir Bahar, vice president, NABA / Accounting Club, Morgan State
