Abstract
The Master of Accounting (MAcc) Association has always placed a high emphasis on student leadership in community service. Led by the MAcc Student Council and advisor, Senior Lecturer Patrick Turner, the MAcc Association organizes several community service opportunities each year. Students, faculty, and staff are all participants, creating a bond rooted in bettering the community we have the pleasure of living in.

The group also participates in the Financial Education Teaches Children Healthy Habits (FETCH!) program hosted by the Ohio Society of CPAs, where students visit local elementary schools to facilitate a game that teaches children budgeting and smart spending. -- 3.
