BCIT Connect Event —
Bringing Students and CPAs Together
CPABC and BCIT’s Financial Management Association hosted their annual CPA Connect
event with BCIT’s School of Business on April 8, 2015. The event, held at the Hilton Vancouver
Metrotown hotel in Burnaby, provided networking opportunities for 125 BCIT students and
50 CPA representatives, faculty, and CPABC staff. It also gave students a chance to ask business
professionals about their journeys in becoming CPAs and about their experiences in their respective specialties. BCIT accounting instructor Jennifer Kerr told event organizers that students
came away from the event “reinvigorated and excited about the profession.”
