This is a year long commitment. You will be matched up with a current CPA to act as your mentor, and will work with KyCPA staff to complete your objectives. You will host a few events to fulfill your responsibilities, examples are: setting up a table in your business school to talk about KyCPA, speaking in your accounting class for the first 5 minutes, collaborating with your accounting club/Beta Alpha Psi to create a fun event to talk about KyCPA, etc.
At the end of the school year, assuming you've reasonably fulfilled your duties, you will receive a $500 bonus.
