from Greater Houston attended the Fall 2018 Meet the Firms Mixer on the campus
of UH. It was a success! Thank you for participating and taking time to network
with interested students in internal audit.
On
September 10, 2018, the UH Internal Audit Student Association (IASA) officers and
members attended the 2018 IIA Houston Chapter luncheon. This was a great
representation of the IASA students and demonstration of their interest in
internal audit.
On September 14-16, 2018, Cynthia Baldwin, VP Academic Relations attended the Internal
Auditing Education Partnership Exchange and accompanied the officers of the UH
IASA. The Exchange is three-fold, designed exclusively to prepare students for
a rewarding career in internal auditing, intended for internal audit university
and college educators to learn best practices for effectively teaching internal
audit and for Academic Relations chairs to maximize their chapter program
potential. The weekend was dynamic and a success including two UH students
participating on the 1st and 3rd place Internal Control Team Competition
presentations. Congratulations!
Reminder
on October 1, 2018, the IIA Houston Chapter luncheon will include a special
presentation to UH. Please join us as we formally present UH with our $25,000
donation for Internal Audit Students for the 2018 – 2019 academic
year. UH has one of eight globally recognized Internal Audit Centers
for Excellence in the world. There are five in the United States and
two internationally. UH is one of two in the great State of
Texas. Go Cougars!
