As part of the Ateneo First Year Orientation Program 2019, the Accountancy Course Orientation dubbed “A Star is Born” was held to provide the freshmen accountancy students the proper glimpse to their whole Ateneo college career — and even beyond — while also leveling out their expectations by breaking stereotypes, introducing the academic policies specific to the program, and introducing outlets which they showcase their hidden talents. While the main focus was to expose the students towards the details of the degree, the freshmen students were also able to showcase their talents and bonded with higher level students.
JPIA Star Hunt
JPIA Star Hunt served as a means for the club to showcase its members’ [non-academic] talents and skills. Through the said event, JPIA was able to round up its pool of talents and search for its representatives for the Regional Mid-Year Convention (RMYC).
