Peeking into the Future
The School of Management (SOM) was invited to participate in Lathrop High School’s
Career Fair held in early December. Accounting faculty Amy Cooper and Charlie Sparks
hosted the SOM table, along with current accounting and MBA students: Satya Partyka,
Brendon Allen, and Kristen Rowland. It was a great experience for everyone, getting
to meet local high school students and to talk about the programs and career opportunities
that the ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ School of Management offers. The SOM table was one of the more frequently
visited stations, perhaps due to the cool SOM swag and snacks.
SOM is already looking forward to participating in this event again next year. It
was a personal event for Charlie Sparks, having grown up in Fairbanks. He attended
Lathrop and this was the first time he’d been back in its hallways since graduating
in 1977.
