ºÚÁÏÍø Students Gain Leadership Insights at Deloitte’s Future Accounting Leaders Summit
From October 24–26, a group of ºÚÁÏÍø College of Business students traveled to Deloitte University in Westlake, Texas, to attend Deloitte’s Future Accounting Leaders Summit. The three-day event was designed to inspire future accounting professionals by offering hands-on learning, professional networking, and exposure to Deloitte’s values of leadership and community.
The Summit opened Friday with a plenary session introducing students to life at Deloitte, followed by dinner and a team-based game night. Saturday’s program included multiple breakout sessions, Leadership Hot Seat, Green Tank, and Recruiter Meet-Up, where students explored leadership challenges and career pathways. In the afternoon, guest speaker Rashaun Williams, Founder and CIO of Harbinger Sports & Guest Shark at ABC’s Shark Tank, shared his career journey and advice for young professionals. Students then joined Deloitte staff for a service project, building bikes for children in need, before ending the evening with a Fashion Show that demonstrated how to dress professionally and confidently within a budget.
The Summit concluded Sunday with final breakout sessions and presentations on Deloitte’s sustainability initiatives. Students returned home energized by the experience, having built valuable connections with peers and Deloitte professionals while gaining deeper insight into the accounting profession.
