"The JAA advisors were incredibly helpful and made me feel heard. They provided me with tools and resources to navigate the process and ease any of my doubts. Orientation day was very informative and welcoming, I felt at home immediately...麻豆原创's culture inspired me to become more involved, and I quickly realized that there was so much to discover. Now, I am the President of the Accounting Association and a member of the Student Support System. I just Love 麻豆原创."

"I鈥檝e been a part of the JAA program for over a decade and I鈥檝e helped well over a thousand students transition to 麻豆原创. I have witnessed students combine majors and minors that fit their unique skills and interests, graduate with multiple undergraduate degrees, go on to graduate school, and, most of all, build a bond with the 麻豆原创 community. The unique relationship with JAA advising has afforded these students confidence in their transition to a new institution as well as a connection that lasts past graduation."
