刚完成会计课程的亨利·米兹开始了新的冒险。 这位2023年5月的毕业生将前往纽约市，在四大会计师事务所普华永道（PwC）工作，这是他在毕业前几个月就想好的工作。
“My experience at the Bloch school has definitely helped me get into this position with PwC,” Meeds said. “The reason I went into consulting is because I don't want to be stuck in the same industry, doing the same job every day.”
Meeds became connected with PwC after participating in the company’s diversity-based internship program in 2021. 他了解了这家公司，他们使用的技术，并为一家非营利组织制定了一项行动计划。 2022年夏天，他回到公司进行第二次实习，专注于技术咨询，并为一家医疗保健公司实施了Workday的推出。 到夏天结束的时候，他得到了一份工作，在毕业后全职担任技术顾问。
“I think my experience at the Bloch school has definitely helped set me up,” Meeds said. “Being in a smaller class allowed me to ask questions and get mentorship from those professors. 我有很多教授，我可以和你们谈论商业的某些方面。 For that reason, I think I bring something new to the table for the company.”
Despite having a full-time job lined up, Meeds didn’t rest on his laurels the last year of his accounting program. He was one of four Bloch Consulting Lab students to work with Vantage Airport Group, the vendor management company for the recently opened single-terminal KCI – the $1.5 billion terminal is considered Kansas City’s largest infrastructure project. 米兹和他的同事们在招聘、制定实习计划和开展经济影响研究等方面为公司提供了支持。 Meeds said after all the work he’s put in with the airport, taking off from there for New York will be a moment to remember, knowing that what he’s worked towards will have a big impact on his hometown, KC citizens and his career moving forward.
“It’s really symbolic,” Meeds said. “Working with the airport and helping implement this great amenity for Kansas City was great. When I leave this month, it will make me feel great just having a piece of KC, while leaving a little bit of myself behind.”
他说，来自经验丰富的教授的指导和参与Bloch咨询实验室帮助他加深了对咨询服务和信息技术的理解，这将使他在开始自己的职业生涯时受益。
“Working in this consulting position definitely helped me improve my consulting skills before heading out to New York City,” Meeds said. “We’re getting hands on with every part of the project, similar to what a partner might be doing at PwC. And we’re doing it all ourselves.”
While balancing his commitments as a staff sergeant in the Missouri Air National Guard, he didn’t fall short on his academic responsibilities. 去年春季学期，Meeds收到了被派往德国的通知，并主动提前完成了课程作业和考试。 回国后，他直接前往纽约，在普华永道完成了他的实习。 他对其他现役军人的建议是随时准备被召唤去执行任务。
"Being a military student, and have having done this for the past four years, I am fully aware that things happen,” Meeds said. “I get a step ahead of all my classes to make sure that I'm ready to go.”
