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.

How much does it cost and what do I get for my money?

Professional Development Seminar provides an opportunity to grow your personal network, educate and prepare yourself for what to expect during next fall’s recruiting for internships and job offers, provides seminars taught by current professionals in the accounting profession on different aspects of personal and professional growth and development, as well as offering breakfast and an etiquette luncheon. The lasting impact of this time spent is most definitely worth the amount it costs!
