“The overall school mantra of “Make It Happen”, was the perfect phrase to describe my experience at VCU Business. Attending VCU provided a strong network of professionals to whom I regard as personal friends. Since graduation, I’ve stayed in touch with a majority of my classmates in the accounting program and enjoy catching up on our career progression and the dreaded CPA exam (which the majority have passed!). When we commiserate about our experience, the overall arching theme is that you can’t control everything, but we can control our career paths, which VCU Business provides the knowledge, the network, and the tools to make it happen.”
