Kicking Off the MAcc Journey: Orientation Recap
Highlights from Our Three-Day Orientation
From Aug. 17 to Aug. 19, 2026, the MAcc program welcomed the Class of 2026 with a three-day orientation packed with learning, networking, and plenty of opportunities to connect. We learned more about the program and academic expectations, explored different career paths in accounting, and heard directly from faculty, alumni, recruiters, and industry professionals. At the same time, team-building and social events gave us the chance to get to know our classmates and start building our MAcc community.
Working Hard and Playing Hard: 5 Takeaways from Playoff Baseball
Hello everyone! I'm back with another blog post! I hope you’re enjoying the crisp October air because today we’re discussing something exciting this month brings—Playoff Baseball! Recently, I attended a Cleveland Guardians playoff game with my classmates from the MAcc program, and it reminded me of the importance of balancing work and play in grad school.
In this post, I share five key takeaways from the game, highlighting how playoff energy mirrors the drive for success in our studies, the value of bonding beyond the classroom, and how casual experiences like attending a game help build genuine professional connections. I also discuss the importance of balancing hard work with moments of fun to avoid burnout and how teamwork and leadership show up both on and off the field.
Attending that game with classmates was a powerful reminder that grad school isn’t just about academics; it’s about building lasting relationships and creating shared memories that enrich the experience. Enjoy the post, Go Guards, and Go Bucks!
