Meet the Firms Wed Oct 5

Thursday Sept 29, 2022

I have attached all of our information about the upcoming Meet the Firms (Accounting and Finance-focused) Networking event. It will be held in the lobby of the SciTech Building in hopes that this will be very accessible to our students. You’ll find a flyer, an online post, and list of employers attached to this email as well. This has traditionally been an event that students and employers rate highly as far as value, but we have struggled to see a large number of the students attending and taking advantage of this opportunity. Will you help us spread the word this week, in advance of the event next Wednesday? We know your reach to students in this area and their trust in you, and we don’t want them to miss out on jobs and/or paid internships. Also, we encourage you to come by and join us as well. We want to collaborate more and more with you on events like this – in planning and executing phases.

SA TXCPA Student Membership & Scholarship

Wed Sept 28 2022

Here is a reply to one of our students about membership and scholarship in SA TXCPA

You should definitely consider joining the Texas Society of CPAs as a student member! Not only are there TXCPA statewide scholarships, but the San Antonio Chapter also offers up to five per year; the application process opens in January 2023 for the Fall 2023-Spring 2024 academic year. Our scholarships are not based solely on GPA – we look at employment, activity in the Chapter and a one-page essay describing why each applicant wants to become a CPA (this one is very important!).

 

To establish your student membership, please go to https://www.tx.cpa/resources/become-a-cpa/become-a-student-member and set up your account in order to activate your free membership. Then, let us know what interests you from the list of options at https://www.tx.cpa/sanantonio/membership/get-involved. We’ll add you to the e-mail distribution list and you will begin receiving notifications of upcoming events, committee meetings etc.

 

Let me know if you have any questions. Looking forward to meeting you!

SA TXCPA Career Night

Monday Sept  26 2022

Thank you for helping to get the word out on your campus about our Accounting Careers Workshop, which took place last Friday evening – live and in person for the first time since 2019!

 

A total of 70 students signed in – we may have missed a few – which was more than either 2020 or 2021, when we offered the Workshop remotely throughout the state. So that’s saying something! Your students were energized, professional and engaged the whole time. Feedback we received was very positive and encouraging.

 

Chapter Membership, Marketing and Programs Manager Javi Valdes put together a short video to give you some idea of how the program went; you might see someone you know: https://youtu.be/lbcOHSnsAZs

 

Here’s a breakdown of attendance by campus (several students did not indicate their university):

 

UTSA – 43

TAMUSA – 8

OLLU – 4

TAMIU – 3

UIW – 3

NELC – 2

4. Applicants must submit evidence that an Application of Intent to take the CPA Exam has been filed with the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy.  The verification emailed received from the Board can be uploaded during the application process.

Wicked Wich

Friday Sept 16 2022

Mike Sutter reviewed a sandwhich shop with a unique approach. There are only six choices on the menu.  And each day they sell out of all inventory,nice and fresh. So they are done 11 00 - 3 00 each day.   The owner worked at Subway for years before opening her own shop. So this solves inventory as well as the long hours problem with most restaurants.

Rating: Solid neighborhood option

“I wish I had something to sell you,” said Feliza Salazar with an apologetically furrowed brow as I ducked inside the Oscar de La Tienda mini-mart in Alta Vista just after 2 o’clock on a hot Thursday afternoon.

Salazar owns and operates The Wicked Wich, a sandwich counter inside the community-focused store, a hub for locals to display their art and buy coffee beans, Lucky Charms and Bettie Page refrigerator magnets.
