Fostering College Relationships
David Wood - Partner
After five years in college, you’ve likely fostered many good friendships. Just because you are graduating, these relationships don’t have to (and shouldn’t) end there. Like you, your friends from college will go on to exciting, successful careers and your paths are bound to cross. If you continue to nurture these relationships, they will payoff in many ways.
I’ve been fortunate to reconnect with and stay connected with several of my college friends over the years. Some of them have ended up as coworkers and others are now clients. Good ways to stay in touch include participating in your local alumni association and becomming active in professional associations such as the Georgia Society of CPAs. I have made it a point to stay in touch with many of my old friends. Our paths have taken us in many directions. It is very interesting to see where different people end up when we all started in the same place.
