Global accounting firm PwC has stepped up to support the college and its activities, both in and outside the classroom.
Since 2014, PwC has sponsored the college’s start-of-semester tradition, Welcome to BizLife. The event shines the spotlight on the College of Business’ broad range of co-curricular and academic offerings. It welcomes new and returning business students with food, fun and giveaways.
Welcome to BizLife is an informal way to familiarize new students with the college’s wide range of resources, including career management services, undergraduate advising and international study opportunities as well as over a dozen student organizations. Students learn first-hand how they can incorporate these opportunities into their undergraduate and graduate studies.
It’s also a good opportunity for new students to start a conversation with members of PwC, a global firm with a strong presence in Miami. At each celebration, PwC representatives connect with students about the internship and career opportunities it offers. Each year, PwC recruits between 20 and 50 FIU students for their internships as well as full-time positions.
In recognition of the firm’s additional contributions in support of the college and its infrastructure projects, MANGO 222, a high-tech lecture classroom in the college’s newest building, has been named the PwC Classroom.
