Student Ambassador Program
The Student Ambassador program was launched in 2001 on four Ohio campuses and was a tremendous success. Through the support of The Ohio CPA Foundation, additional schools have joined the program and in 2008, the Student Ambassador Program reaches 12 Ohio campuses.
The program is built around the concept of peer-to-peer networking. On each campus a student who’s already an accounting major is hired and devotes 30 hours each month to helping dispel the negative stereotypes and misconceptions that exist about what CPAs do.
The Student Ambassadors create windows of opportunity for themselves and CPAs to talk to students. They also leverage the power and influence of peer-to-peer interaction among students who are majoring in accounting and those who aren’t. This program is making significant strides in correcting misconceptions and is capturing the minds of students about what the future can hold if they major in accounting and become a CPA.
The 2007-08 participating campuses are:
- Bowling Green State University
- Case Western Reserve University
