🌟Student of the Term🌟

Joe Phillips is a Pittsburgh native and served as a Graduate Assistant in the Department of Management while pursuing his MBA. He was also actively involved in the Student Accounting Association, reflecting his strong commitment to both academics and professional development.

Joe credits much of his growth to the support of his RSB faculty, with a special shoutout to Professors Amy Cesario and Sandy Mervosh. He shares that they played a key role in helping him realize his passion for accounting, guiding him through a major change during his undergraduate years. With their support—especially Amy’s help in catching up on coursework—Joe was able to successfully transition into the accounting track and graduate on time.

For underclassmen, Joe’s advice is simple: get involved early. Building connections with professors, peers, and professionals can make a significant difference in both academic success and career opportunities.

Fun fact: Joe is a triplet! 👏💚💛
