Tim Cross ’04 came back to campus to answer questions about working in auditing and internships at BDO for current IWU students. The session was an opportunity for students who are interested in entering the field to better prepare for their career paths.

Mike Musselman ’04 spoke on the Financial Services Panel on October 18 to talk to current IWU students about careers in finance. The event drew a large number of students and provided an opportunity for students to learn more about the industry. Musselman is currently SVP & Managing Director at MB Financial Bank.
