Support From CARE

CARE provides support for various organizations and programs for Business students. The following is a list of currently supported organizations and programs currently offered for SUNY Oswego School of Business students:

• Beta Alpha Psi: CARE provided support for travel to two national conferences, 2009 in New York and 2008 in Chicago. Beta Alpha Psi is an organization for accounting students and professionals. Its primary objective is to encourage and give recognition to scholastic and professional excellence. Each year Professor Florence Kirk travels with several students to this event where they compete in accounting case competitions. In 2009 the SUNY Oswego student team won.
• Volunteer Income Tax Assistance: Oswego students and professors help out the local community with their tax problems. Professors Dean Crawford and Robert Hollenbeck spearhead this effort with the help of several students who help them complete scores of tax returns every year.
• New York State Society of Certified Public Accountants Educator Conference: In 2009 CARE sent several accounting professors to this conference held in Albany so that they could make presentations and earned continuing professional education. In 2009 Professors Dean Crawford, Robert Hollenbeck, and Thomas Tribunella gave presentations.
• Academy of Management: CARE sent a professor to the 2009 National Conference in Chicago to present a research manuscript. The paper, written by Barry Freidman and Thomas Tribunella, provided an analysis of the MBA employment market. The research data was provided by a survey conducted by the Wall Street Journal.
• New York State Society of Certified Public Accountants Career Opportunities in the Accounting Profession (COAP): The COAP program, designed to target traditionally underrepresented minorities, allows a group of high school student to visit the SUNY Oswego campus during the summer for a few days and study accounting. This gives the students an opportunity to explore the field of accounting and decide if an accounting career sparks their interests. Professors Chuck Spector and Dean Crawford help organize this event with the New York State Society of Certified Public Accountants.
• New York State Society of Certified Public Accountants Student Awards Dinner: This event recognizes outstanding undergraduate and graduate students for their scholastic and leadership achievements. Several SUNY Oswego students earned awards in 2009. Professor Chuck Spector helps organize this event with the New York State Society of Certified Public Accountants.
