For the second straight year COVID-19 has impacted IRS filing deadlines, but it hasn’t stopped the work of Albion College students and their dedication to helping others file their taxes. This year’s Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program is on track to file nearly 80 returns, mostly for seniors in Albion and nearby communities.
Guided by Dr. Vicki Baker (far left), professor of economics and management, and soon to be situated downtown, students in AC3 connect with and advise local clients, build and refine strategies ranging from operations to marketing, and gain valuable experience and professional preparation.
Albion College is planning to offer, starting this fall, two new innovative pathways for students to gain their graduate degrees in accounting. On track to begin in Fall 2021, each pathway will focus on the benefit of individual learning and CPA certification requirements.
It’s one of those “who would have thought?” encounters: Brandon Fisher, ’21 (left), and Tom Jurasek, ’08, first worked together in Albion's Harrington Elementary School Mentoring program, when Jurasek was a volunteer from the Albion College men’s basketball team and Fisher was in second grade. That relationship didn’t last (Fisher only vaguely remembers it), but nonetheless come June the two will work together again, as Fisher joins Jurasek and five other Albion alumni on the team at Jackson-based accounting firm Willis & Jurasek.
