Waynesburg University will host two members of the international accounting firm, Deloitte, Thursday, March 29, at 11 a.m. in Alumni Hall.

Dan Potetz, a firm partner, and Michael Sorkin, a senior auditor, will talk to students about careers in public accounting.

Students will have the opportunity to learn about careers, public accounting and hear a first-hand account of what it’s like to work for one of the largest accounting firms in the world.

William Stough, assistant professor of business administration, said students will benefit from meeting with Deloitte and that these types of interactions are imperative to the success of students.

“This is an important contact for the University’s business students who will seek careers in public accounting,” he said. “This could be the path for them to work for a Big Four accounting firm. It is also important for us to understand what we need to be teaching our students to better prepare them for public accounting careers.”

Founded in 1849 by the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, Waynesburg University is located on a traditional campus in the hills of southwestern Pennsylvania, with three additional sites located in the Pittsburgh region. The University is one of only 22 Bonner Scholar schools in the country, offering local, regional and international opportunities to touch the lives of others through service.
