Road to CPA Mentoring Program Signup 23/24

Rutgers Business School

Road to CPA - New Brunswick is an all-inclusive program created to provide guidance and support to students on their path to CPA licensure and a meaningful accounting career. Resources are readily available to all interested accounting majors - the Road to CPA objective is to assist any accounting students who need help in achieving their goals.
Road to CPA offers a mentoring program for our undergraduate accounting students (or students considering accounting as a major) where they are matched with professionals in various accounting industries. Many of our mentors are recent RBS grads!

The Road to CPA Mentoring program is accepting new mentees into the program for the 2023-2024 school year.  All mentoring tasks will be tracked in Suitable - you will set goals and meet with your mentor about once per month (typically via Zoom, Webex, etc.) through April, and we'll cap off the program with an in-person networking event in April (we'll cover these tasks in an orientation before the program begins).

If you are interested in signing up to be paired with a mentor, please complete the brief survey below so we can learn a little more about you. If you have any questions about the mentoring program, feel free to contact Sarah O'Rourke at slilley@business.rutgers.edu.
