The SFU Accounting Student Association is pleased to announce that it will be compiling a photo book for the participants of the 2009 CA Recruit.

The photo book will consist of names of the students and headshot pictures to keep things simple, as there are over 300 students registered for this year’s recruit on the Career Network. The purpose of this booklet is to allow firms to remember students better by being able to match the names to the faces after networking, as there are usually over 100 students at each Fall Recruit Information Session.

For the sake of uniformity and equality, the pictures will be standardized, meaning that each participant would have to have their photo taken in the same background by the same camera and photographer. To facilitate this, we will have a photographer take pictures from 9 am to 7 pm this coming Thursday, September 3, in the SFU Burnaby Campus. The cost for each student who wishes to be a part of the book will be $10.

To register for this event, please email sfuasa.exec@gmail.com with your full name and times you are unavailable on September 3. We will assign time slots based on these unavailabilities. Please remember that being in this book is a privilege, not a right. Hence, it is up to the students to prioritize the photoshoot on Thursday. If you have any other concerns or questions, please email sfuasa.exec@gmail.com.
