Selkirk College and the Kootenay West Chapter of CPABC co hosted a “Student & CPA Community Networking Afternoon”, bringing together aspiring CPA students and local CPA’s for an engaging and relationship focused event.
The session was facilitated by Greg Dodd, CPA, instructor at Selkirk College, with opening remarks delivered by Tiffany Snauwaert, CPA, Dean of the School of Business. Their insights set the stage for an afternoon centered on career exploration, mentorship, and community connection.
A total of 35 students participated, taking advantage of the opportunity to meet and speak with 14 CPA’s from a variety of practice areas. The informal format encouraged meaningful conversations through one on one discussions and small group interactions, allowing students to ask questions, learn about different career paths, and build confidence in navigating the profession while connecting with real professionals in their community,
Attendees enjoyed pizza and refreshments, contributing to a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere that supported open dialogue and genuine connection. Students have since shared positive and enthusiastic feedback, expressing appreciation to the organizers for providing such a valuable and accessible networking opportunity.
The event strengthened ties between Selkirk College and the CPA community while supporting students in their professional development journey.
We look forward to seeing you at the next event!
