EXPERIENCE THE POWER OF BEING YOU!
Looking for a unique learning experience alongside a diverse group of students from across the U.S, while getting a sneak peek into what a career in audit, tax, or consulting might look like at RSM? Join us to experience RSM through our RSM Excellence Academy. This program aims to raise awareness and strengthen the professional skills of outstanding students from Black, Latinx, and Hispanic heritage who are three years from final college graduation (first year of a four-year degree or second year summer of a five-year degree (such as a Master’s of Accountancy)).
The RSM Excellence Academy consists of a 3-day summer leadership conference with a stipend and the opportunity to participate in a 2024 summer internship with RSM. The Excellence Academy is open to all qualified students who are three years from graduation. There is a preference for students who have demonstrated a commitment to efforts of racial diversity and inclusiveness for underrepresented groups (particularly those that support communities of Black, Latinx, and Hispanic heritage) via participation, for example, in organizations with these goals or other similar initiatives. The Excellence Academy is designed to recognize these efforts of inclusivity and to develop outstanding business, accounting, technology, and engineering students for internships and full-time employment. You will have an opportunity to build relationships that will assist you in your educational and career development. We hope that this experience will provide you with an overall understanding of our professional services industry, RSM’s culture, and the unique advantages of working in the middle market.
Your unique background, education, and personal experiences equip you to contribute in ways no one else can. Participants will see that everyone who works at RSM brings an interesting and unique perspective that not only shapes them, but also shapes the understanding that is the core of our brand. Their individual talents strengthen our team while enhancing the insights we provide to the middle market. If you’re looking for an organization that values you as an individual, welcome to RSM!
