I now enjoy the privilege of familiarity. Everything was new to me – including a new set of classmates, professors, and academic expectations. For weeks, I got lost every time I tried to drive to a new place in Raleigh.
When I moved from the Midwest to Raleigh in August to start the MAC program at NC State, I could count on one hand the number of people I knew in North Carolina. Hannah’s ReflectionsĪs I reflect on the last two semesters, it’s hard to believe how much has changed. As I prepare for final exams, I find reassurance in the fact that I will be graduating in May from a top quality program where I have developed lasting relationships with both faculty and my fellow classmates. I am very grateful that I chose to attend NC State’s MAC Program. This program has made me feel right at home from the onset, which has enabled me to truly grow and prepare myself for the next step of my journey. What NC State gets right are the small things. While none of us have ever experienced yoga before, it will surely be an entertaining and memorable afternoon. What’s more, one of our professors, Bruce Branson, has invited several of us to a yoga class here in Raleigh. On several occasions, the Jenkins MAC team hosted lunch for all of the MAC students during which faculty members would converse with students on a more social setting. I truly felt that the faculty members cared about each member of my MAC class, and showed interest in our career aspirations and goals. On any given day, I was able to walk right in to any of my professors’ offices and ask a question or stop to chat about career advice. The sense of community that you find at NC State is unlike any I have heard of elsewhere. One of the reasons why I decided to return to NC State for my graduate degree after having completed my undergraduate degree here was the faculty. The faculty members at NC State’s Poole College of Management have been excellent. Over the last eight months, I have come to understand the ever-changing aspect of the accounting world, the multitude of opportunities that stem from a career in accounting, and I have made some memorable relationships along the way. This year has been one of the most challenging yet rewarding years of my academic career. It will be a great one!Īs the spring term comes to an end, I want to take a moment to reflect upon my experience as a student in the NC State MAC Program. Good luck to everyone starting a MAC Program in the year ahead. It is hard to believe graduation is a little over a week away! Hopefully you have gained some insight on the day to day life of a Jenkins MAC student. We have enjoyed sharing our experiences in the Jenkins MAC Program with you this year.
