Join us for a conversation with Dr. Adrian Mayse, Department Chair and Associate Professor of Accounting, Howard University. Earlier this year, Dr. Mayse released his first children's book titled, When I Group up I Want to Be… an Accountant. This session will discuss the lack of diversity across the accounting profession, why it is important to focus on improving diversity in the pipeline, and how a children's book can help raise awareness of the accounting profession—particularly in the community of color. We hope you join the conversation!
