Write a caption and maybe win a pizza

Posted by Fred Steiner on September 1, 2020 - 4:51pm

This could be a tough one, but on the other hand, it has opportunities for a very interest caption. We wonder what those four guys are saying. But, the caption doesn't have to focus on those guys, it's simply a suggestion.

And, we know that there's ample opportunity for other captions.

Abbie Parkins ’21, an accounting and business administration double major from Bluffton, is getting as much hands-on experience as possible before she graduates.

Entering her fourth year at Bluffton University, Parkins is currently completing her fourth internship. 

“I love taking my knowledge and class work and using it in real-life applications,” said Parkins, whose internships were each in a different type of accounting – tax, credit, operations and general.

“I got a feel for which type of accounting I like best and which path I would like to take for my future.”
