We wrapped up the semester with a fun pickleball tournament featuring our professors and graduate assistants! It was a great way to enjoy some friendly competition and celebrate the end of the school year. While we’re sad to see our graduate assistants go, we’re even more excited to watch them thrive in the field of accountancy!
