What is PDS About?
The Professional Development Seminar is an annual event put on by the Delta Lambda Chapter of Beta Alpha Psi in partnership with the NMSU Accounting Department and various accounting professionals from around the region. The event consists of a day-long series of workshops taught by professionals on topics of interest to students such as interviewing, career options, and preparing for the CPA exam. Students also have a chance to participate in mock interviews with professional recruiters, to gain understanding and practice concerning how to interview for jobs and internships in the future. The event provides a premiere opportunity to network with accounting professionals, and for students to improve upon their professional development and prepare for job-seeking in the future.
The dress code for this event is Business Casual. A presentation on how to dress for professional events like PDS can be found HERE.
