UWF Meet the Firms Networking Event (Day 2)
University of West Florida (UWF)
Description: The Iota Phi chapter of Beta Alpha Psi (BAP) and the Department of Accounting and Finance will hold its Meet the Firms Networking Event on Thursday, September 23rd, 2021 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. This is part of a 2-Day event: Day #1 (Sept. 23) will allow for you to meet with candidates on-site, providing you with valuable face time with potential hires. Day #2 (Sept. 24th) will allow you to recruit in a virtual space and conveniently network with candidates from a distance. Extend your reach and participate in BOTH DAYS! Registration for both days is available at a discounted rate.
Meet the Firms provides an opportunity for UWF students to network with professionals in their major field. Firms are invited to participate with UWF students to begin to foster continuing relationships. This event is intentionally marketed to Accounting, Finance, and Management Information Systems majors; however, students in other degree programs may attend to learn more, network, etc. The majority of students will be seeking full-time employment, internships, or both. However, the event is not meant to be solely a job fair; freshmen and sophomore students, who are still early in their degree programs, benefit from the interaction with industry professionals and it’s a great opportunity for your organization’s branding.
Registration Fee: $100 (Day 1 Only)/ $125 (Both Days)/ $75 (Day #2 Only)- Tax will be added to for-profit registrations.
Registration Deadline: Day #1- September 16, 2021/ Day #2- September 17, 2021
