The PricewaterhouseCoopers Scholars program is an honors program within Binghamton University’s School of Management. The program has approximately 140 members who excel in academics, leadership, and professionalism. Program members participate in a variety of activities. Last year, the program hosted the first annual mock career fair for freshman in the School of Management and the first School of Management Club Fair. Juniors and seniors in the program serve as mentors to freshmen in the School of Management. Program members assist with the feedback process for School of Management faculty. Currently, each class is collaborating to raise funds for the program’s annual community service day. Last year, we built an outdoor playground and learning environment for Binghamton’s Discovery Center, a hands-on museum for children.
Only students with the most distinguished credentials are selected to become members of the PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) Scholars Program at Binghamton University.
