An industry is only as strong as the next generation of professionals it attracts. If you ask Winthrop University Accounting major Natalia Arriaga, she will agree.
Arriaga sat down with Insightful Accountant Publisher Gary DeHart at "Xerocon New Orleans" to discuss her recent win of the "Mary T. Washington Award."
In this episode of Accounting Insiders, Natalia shares why she chose to pursue accounting, how important scholarships are for minority students and ways the accounting industry can attract young people to the profession.
Along with her love of accounting, Natalia also shared the profound impact scholarships have had on her, more about her school's chapter of the National Association of Black Accountants, and how she plans to attract more students to the club now that she is vice president.
