New Mexico Society of CPAs / BAP Theta Xi Mentorship Program
Through the New Mexico Society of CPAs / BAP mentorship program, members of the Theta Xi Chapter are supported and guided as they make the transition from academic studies into professional careers. In our unique one-on-one mentorship experiences, successful CPAs share their time and expertise with students interested in learning more about what it means and takes to be a working professional. Goals of the program include building mutually beneficial relationships between students and professionals in New Mexico, the education of the participants on various aspects of the accounting profession, and providing access to a network of professional guidance. The Mentorship program is rewarding for both mentors and students.
