A Message from the Editor
Our Accounting Admissions and Academic Advisor was looking for a way for students to connect, support, and network with each other in their academic and professional development. Many students were interested and the Accounting & Tax Student Organization “ATSO” was born. The President of ATSO was the primary building force for the organization. Conversations were started and the first meeting was set in February! At the first meeting, 16 students showed up on a Friday evening.
Notable achievements to-date include: launching “Student Organization Week” during the first week of the Spring semester and teaching 40 Blackwell Institute second graders at a recent on-campus field trip. Since the first meeting, ATSO has hosted seven events and four more planned this month. It is exciting to see what ATSO has accomplished in four months. Eager to see where they will accomplish in a year from now!
Sincerely,
Jessica Knapik, MSM '04

| Benefits of Portal and WebAdvisor |
|
| Over the last several years I’m amazed by how much the Portal and WebAdvisor have changed. We have so many more features that are available now for you. For example, WebAdvisor allows you to check the status of your program plan. Specifically what you need to complete the program, grades, terms they were taken, and more. You can even set up direct deposit for your refund checks. The Portal has numerous features, including: access to your Walsh e-mail, College announcements, and eRecruiting.
