LBC, Business Studies, Team Up with Rotary Foundation to Host Visiting CPA from Italy

----------------------------------------------
Miss Iannaccone, visiting from Avellino, Italy was interested in learning about the higher education system, American accounting standards, and the accounting vocation in the United States. Professor Wiegand graciously permitted Miss Tannaccone to “sit in” Accounting Principles and made himself available to discuss American accounting practices with her prior to class.
The Group Study Exchange (GSE) program of The Rotary Foundation is a unique cultural and vocational exchange opportunity for young adults. Through the program, teams of professional men and women exchange visits between paired areas in different countries. The awards involve four-week visits, during which team members share homes with Rotary families, experience the host country's institutions and ways of life, observe their own vocations as practiced abroad, develop personal and professional relationships, and exchange ideas with their professional counterparts. This Rotary year, our district is exchanging teams with District 2100 in Naples, Italy.
