Summer Leadership Program:

Marcum will be holding our annual Summer Leadership program in our Washington, DC on Tuesday, May 31^st and Wednesday, June 1^st. We recently  launched the application for the program and we would love to have your students attend! The Summer Leadership Program is a 2-day hands-on experiential learning opportunity geared toward Sophomore and Junior students who want to pursue a career in Accounting. Students will get the opportunity to visit our DC office, collaborate with their peers, and interact with Staff and Partners at our Firm. This is a great opportunity for students to gain a first-hand understanding of what career in Public Accounting could look like for them. In previous years this program has helped us to get acquainted with students who become interns and potentially full-time Associates upon graduation. This is an immensely beneficial opportunity for students and for our Firm as we look to recruit top talent! Students can apply via Handshake (if applicable) or by emailing their resume to me at david.draper@marcumllp.com and indicating “Summer Leadership Program” in the subject line.

It was a great turnout for The Shriver Center's first ever Trivia Night, facilitated by Here's Your Host:  Matt Eickhoff.  Thank you to those who donated in lieu of participation. Staff is already talking about planning the next event!  

At the event, Matt highlighted Shriver Center colleagues who are assisting Afghan refugees who settled in the Baltimore and DC region. Staff is raising funds to purchase laptops to connect these new arrivals to virtual English as a Second Language (ESL) classes, the ability to complete online job applications, school work, and to access online resources and information that will help their families become better acclimated and connected. 

Donated laptops are welcomed, too.  For more info, please go to:
