The Accounting Society is an organization made up of mostly Accounting majors. Our goal is to get students familiarized with the field and the opportunities available for graduates. We try to meet our goal through hosting luncheon meetings with guest speakers from our respective field, by going on various trips to see area accounting firms, and by inviting campus recruiters to our meetings. We try to help students connect with potential employers and internship opportunities. The Society also participates in numerous philanthropic events, helping students meet their community service requirement. On a lighter note, the Society has an annual holiday party and an end of the year party. We also try to put together a trip to Boston annually to see the city, an accounting firm, and meet fine arts requirements. Overall, the Accounting Society gives students a chance to get to know their peers and contribute to the campus community.

Husson Improv Club is one of the newest groups on campus this year. It is for any student who is interested in this form of performing art. It involves students immediately without having to audition, learn lines or blocking. Instead they learn to watch, listen and think on their feet.

Many different types of improvs are presented, ranging from the serious to the hilarious. Husson Improv Club does public performances throughout the year at the Furman Center, and will take part in workshops with other improv groups such Bangor Improv Group. This is an exciting group to be a part of, and there is never a dull moment. Whether it is watching or taking part in the games, it's a fun experience for all.
