    Greetings, my name is Austin McIntosh and I am a junior studying for a Finance Major.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    During the 2019 Summer, I interned for the University of Michigan \u2013 Flint\u2019s Office of Financial Aid. This internship was a mixture of finance, accounting, and analysis, three critical skills required to go into the Financial Analyst field. Throughout this internship, I worked with the office accountant with payroll, payroll reconciliation, and communicating on reconciling outstanding issues. I also took the reins on the office\u2019s social media accounts and helped bring it back to relevance. Among my responsibilities I also created the budgets for the 2019-2020 Study Abroad trips. Taking on projects that taught me new skills in Microsoft Excel and even Access was critical for me to prepare for the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For the upcoming Fall Semester, I am very excited about taking actual in-depth BBA courses because I am now taking that classes where I hope to learn the skillset to take into my future career \u2013 Financial Analysis. I am also very excited about lifting the Financial Management Association off the ground and making it more relevant than what it used to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Since I have been in the Financial Aid world for a good chunk of time, my biggest suggestions are to complete your FAFSA as early as you can, take advantage of on-campus employment, and over budget yourself for upcoming semesters. Preparing and having a larger expected tuition and book expense will pay its dividends later on down the road. GO BLUE!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
