Accounting and Finance Association

Membership in the SUNY New Paltz Accounting & Finance Association (AFA) is open to all SUNY New Paltz undergraduate and graduate students with a major or intended major in Accounting or Finance. Membership in the AFA provides its members with an excellent opportunity to explore career opportunities in Accounting and Finance by enabling, promoting, and facilitating the discussion and exploration of pertinent topics outside the traditional classroom setting. Regular activities of the AFA ordinarily include speeches and panel discussions by fellow students, faculty and professionals; field trips; and a variety of social and service (to school and surrounding community) activities. In addition to the regular group activities, students wishing to further develop their leadership, organizational, interpersonal and communication skills will have the opportunity to run for AFA Executive Board positions (which are filled periodically by majority vote of the membership). The opportunities offered by membership in the AFA to explore career opportunities and to network with fellow classmates, alumni, faculty and industry professionals are intended to help our Accounting and Finance students make better and more informed career decisions, as well as help prepare these students for the transition from college to full-time work in their intended fields.
