Internship: Deloitte, Rochester, NY — one of the "Big Four" accounting organizations and the largest professional services network in the world by revenue and number of professionals.
Major: Accounting
About the experience: Three months before graduating, I received a job offer from Deloitte and will start in 2019. The internship was the best learning experience of my life. I was constantly challenged to push myself and to learn new things everyday. I was able to apply what I learned in class to the real world, make a ton of connections, and travel to places like Pittsburgh and Texas.
Graduation: December 2018
Involvement at Naz: Basketball and golf teams, recruitment assistant, Class of 2019 vice president 2017-2018, Student Athlete Advisory Committee, NYSSCPA student ambassador, and Phi Eta Sigma Honor Society.
My college experience: Naz definitely provided me the opportunity to grow and discover myself. There are so many great people here including coaches, professors, and fellow students, many of whom have had an enormous impact on my life. I have had so many great experiences, and I will feel very prepared when I leave.
Post-graduation update: Jacob was hired by the same company he interned for while at Nazareth. He currently works as an Audit and Assurance Assistant at Deloitte & Touche. He says one of his biggest accomplishments since graduating is passing all 4 parts of the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) exam.
