In March, the Accounting and Information Systems (ACIS) Department hosted a Pizza Party for students in our Master of Accounting and Information Systems and 152-Hour Programs.  We recognize the importance of networking and building strong relationships and have held events to bring our students and faculty together outside of the classroom.

During the Pizza Party, the students enjoyed conversation with faculty and fellow classmates, pizza and various giveaways.  The giveaways included gift cards to the University Bookstore and Starbucks, gifts from local shops and a basketball autographed by Coach Buzz Williams.
