CoB Accounting Student Receives Torleif Aasheim Community Involvement Award
College of Business (CoB) accounting major Emily Quinn was
honored with one of two 2008 Torleif Aasheim Community
Involvement Awards as the female senior at Montana State
University who best embodies the spirit of community service. The
other honoree was Troy Lodmell, a history major from Malta.
Quinn is very active on campus and in the community. She is a
member of the Beta Alpha Psi/Accounting Club, Mortar Board, Beta
Gamma Sigma Honor Society, Septemviri, the MSU Honors Program,
Advocats, National Society of Collegiate Scholars and the MSU
Symphony Orchestra as principal clarinetist. Quinn also spends
her time volunteering in the community, participating in events
and programs such as Relay for Life, Bowl for Kids Sake, Up til
Dawn fundraisers for St. Jude's Research Hospital, Red Cross
Blood Drives and Habitat for Humanity.
The CoB is credited with many of Quinn s successes. The CoB has
provided me excellent teachers and mentors that have inspired me
to enjoy learning. The high quality education I received at MSU
has provided me an invaluable foundation that will enable me to
succeed in my chosen career path. In addition, the CoB has
provided me valuable networking opportunities, enabling me to
feel more comfortable interacting with business professionals.
Most importantly, the CoB has provided me job opportunities that
would not be as easily accessible elsewhere, she said.
Quinn will work for Ernst & Young in San Jose, California as a
summer intern before returning to Bozeman to complete her degree
in the CoB Master of Accountancy Program.
