Accountancy students visit Capitol

Inside the gold-domed state capitol, a group of Accountancy students experienced legislation in action on Jan. 30 at the annual Certified Public Accountants Day hosted by the Georgia Society of CPAs.

The event allowed undergraduates throughout the state to engage with professionals in their field and hear discussions about new legislation.

Sophomore KJ Howard, who felt some intimidation when he came to the Capitol with LC last year as a freshman, said he gained more confidence this time around.

“I just took a step out of my comfort zone and started to strike up conversations with the wealth managers and CPAs,” he said.

Junior Abby Hefner said one of her favorite moments was watching Governor Brian Kemp give a press conference.

“It was interesting to see the prep work that is involved in setting up those types of events,” she said.
