Session Descriptions:
Sneak a Peek at Aquinas Technology: A Behind-The-Scenes Tour: Are you someone who loves to see the "meat and potatoes" of everything? Maybe you like to know what makes a network tick? If this sounds familiar, this is the session for you! This session also includes a brief discussion of our Information Technology and Services office and how they are here to assist you.
Funny Money: When most people meet an accountant, they don't exactly expect the "life of the party." This session will address--and correct--stereotypes of accountants, present
current realities of the accounting profession, and show how our AQ curriculum can help students become part of that profession. You'll also learn how to start thinking about making a company both financially and socially profitable and how creativity fits into the process. Come ready to laugh!
Remember When Green Was Just a Color? The Sustainable Business Movement: Sustainability initiatives, LEEDS certification, the triple bottom line…what does it all mean? Come learn exactly what all of these "buzz-words" mean and how a degree in Sustainable Business can be more valuable than you might think.
Wall Street, Grand Rapids: Learn about the fast-paced world of online trading from an Aquinas graduate who works as a Risk Management professional at a leading forex firm. Buy low, sell high is just the beginning. Get hands-on experience in trading basics, technical analysis, and even do some trading on your own.
