Nhu Nguyen of New Tripoli, a double-major in accounting and international business at Scranton, attended the Institute of Management Accountants Student Leadership Experience in Orlando, Fla., in February.

For the second year in a row, a University of Scranton student was selected for the IMA’s Student Leadership Experience.

This highly-selective program included only five students from around the world.

The annual event provides students with the unique experience to actively participate in the organization’s governance process.

In addition to attending in the IMA’s Global Board of Directors meeting, Nguyen participated in meetings for the Committee on Ethics and the Volunteer Leadership Committee.

She also watched a presentation on “Big Data and Analytics” and toured the Rosen Shingle Creek facilities.

“I not only had an opportunity to learn more about the IMA, but I also got to experience how passionate and dedicated the members are to the accounting profession and student development. There was a great amount of support and friendship between members, and I am glad that I was able to connect with these professionals,” Nguyen said.

In addition to pursing a double major at Scranton, Nguyen has a triple-minor in finance, Chinese and business leadership.

A dean’s list student at Scranton, Nguyen is also a member of the university’s IMA Honor Society and Omega Beta Sigma, the women’s business honor society.

On campus, she served as a mathematics tutor for the Center for Teaching and Learning Excellence, as president of the International Business Club and was vice president of the International Club.

A graduate of Allentown Central Catholic High School, her family resides in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

In addition to attending the leadership experience, Nguyen was named to the dean’s list for the 2019 spring semester, and was among 16 members of The University of Scranton’s class of 2019 who graduated from its Business Leadership Honors Program, which is one of Scranton’s programs of excellence.

Students in this highly-selective program explore the basic theories and concepts of leadership through special seminars and courses in management, ethics, strategy and analysis, in addition to field trips to learn from top executives and projects in leadership, service and mentoring.

Nguyen, who graduated magna cum laude, majored in international business and accounting at Scranton.

She was among more than 850 Bachelor and Associate degree recipients at its undergraduate commencement on May 26 at the Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza, Wilkes-Barre.
