Stony Brook University Business Management

We proudly announce that Sunghyun Jang, a Senior BM student, successfully passed USCPA exam this September. Focusing on both accounting and finance, Jang not only excelled in his academic studies but also committed additional time outside of class to prepare for this challenging exam, achieving his professional goal. This fall 2024 semester, Jang is studying at Stony Brook University's main campus in New York as he prepares for his post-graduation career. His achievement exemplifies the hard work and dedication characteristic of SUNY Korea’s student body and highlights the department's commitment to fostering academic and professional excellence.  

On Monday, October 28, the Business Department held a lunch gathering for international students in the Innovation Lab. During the event, the department chair engaged students in discussions about their campus life and future career paths, providing encouragement to help them adapt smoothly to the campus community.

  On September 25, the Business Department hosted a successful CPA Study Group Info Session, which saw the participation of around 30 students and faculty members. The event began with a warm welcome from Professor Koren Jo, the faculty advisor for the CPA Study Group. Kyungjin Kim, the team leader of SUNY Korea's Finance Team, provided valuable insights into the latest developments regarding the AICPA exam. In addition, she introduced the upcoming CPA Study Group membership, offering students the opportunity to join soon.

On September 11, 2024, the Business Department held an awards ceremony to honor top-performing students from the Spring 2024 semester. A total of 21 students were selected for recognition, based on recommendations from professors in major courses. The event was attended by over 50 individuals, including faculty members, award recipients, and fellow students, who gathered to celebrate the achievements of the honorees.

  In an insightful field trip organized by the CPA Study Group on Monday, November 13th, 15 enthusiastic members had the opportunity to visit EY HanYoung. EY HanYoung is a prominent player in the corporate accounting sector that provides consulting, assurance, tax, and transaction service. The event included a company overview, an engaging Q&A session with a Senior Accountant, and a comprehensive office tour. The study group's visit commenced with a warm welcome from EY HanYoung's staff, who introduced the firm and its areas of expertise. The participants were specifically notified that in addition to Assurance, there is a growing demand for foreign accountants in areas such as Consulting, Deals, and Tax.  One of the highlights of the trip was the Q&A session with a Senior Accountant at EY HanYoung. This session offered the students a valuable opportunity to gain insights into the daily life and challenges that account professionals face. Additionally, the office tour provided an inside look at the firm’s facilities and working environment, which was also a very unique opportunity for the CPA Student Group to be able to glimpse the dynamic and collaborative culture at EY HanYoung.  This field trip served as an important stepping stone for the future accountants of the CPA Study Group. The growing demand for foreign accountants will be a great opportunity for the students at SUNY Korea, where students are able to experience cross-cultural skills and earn global perspectives.

[CPA Study Group] PwC Korea Field Trip on Nov.9     The CPA Study Group went to a field trip to Samil PwC as a field trip on November 9th, 2022. Students enrolled in ACC310 were invited to this trip, so a total of 18 students participated to this event. It was a very special opportunity for the students to learn what accountants work at a real accounting firm and specifically they were able to learn what qualifications they need to meet and prepare for.  It was very thankful that PwC Korea prepared an information session for our students to introduce their company, roles in each department, recruitment process, and so on. Students seemed that they are motivated and the feedback on this event shows that students were very satisfied. We, as a department, were also happy to see students' reaction and plan to continue such events in the following semesters.
