""I realized Stony Brook didn't have a chapter, so I did my research, made a few phone calls and followed the steps to re-establish it," said Adeyemi, the chapter's president."
""There weren't enough organizations or support for underrepresented students who are studying business, so we wanted to create something that could connect and grow and provide access to opportunities for those students," said Adams, the chapter's chairman."
"The National Association of Black Accountants is dedicated to advancing Black professionals in accounting, finance, business and entrepreneurship."
"The students' success underscores the impact of creating new access points for professional development, mentorship and industry connections."
The National Association of Black Accountants chapter at Stony Brook University was re-established by students to enhance access to professional networks and mentorship. Temitade Adeyemi and Zachary Adams led the initiative to fill a gap in support for underrepresented students in business. The organization aims to connect students with opportunities in accounting, finance, and entrepreneurship, reflecting the principles of engagement, empowerment, and education. The chapter's revival is seen as a significant step towards improving professional development and industry connections for its members.
