Testimonials from past ZGAS Executive Board members
"One thing that I did not dare dream about was to become a leader – not for a second until a night in 2014. I was sitting on my desk, thinking and writing my application for an IC position through ZGAS. I thought long and hard on the application questions. I then responded by writing, “I want to make an impact on this community” and I was serious about it.
That simple sentence has grown to something even bigger. It’s become a mission that I have embraced through the days and nights. The power of a mission statement goes far beyond my imagination. Likewise, the returns have exceeded what I had wished for, to name a few: leadership, friendship, mentorship, and maturity.
If I am allowed only one thing to speak highly about ZGAS, it is that ZGAS is a community that makes building and creating trust a priority! You may not want to become a leader yet, but you shouldn’t refuse to admit yourself to this positive energetic environment.
Looking back, that application has changed my life – at least on how I view myself. So seize yours today! Let the structure of ZGAS do the weight lifting!"

"It was an honor to be part of ZGAS during my years at Baruch. ZGAS is the place to practice collaboration and professionalism. We work with people who are self-motivated and disciplined, and find peer models that shape our manner of professional interactions. ZGAS is also the best place on campus to live as a family. We care about each other and share every piece of information and advice to help each other grow. I am so glad to have worked on this team and serve Baruch. It's competitive to get in, but the experience is truly amazing!"

"Joining ZGAS has changed my life in so many ways than just one! Thanks to the first ZGAS networking event, I landed the internship of my dreams! More importantly, at ZGAS, I've met incredibly talented, passionate, and just amazing friends who respect and support one another. I am very proud to have been part of ZGAS and grateful for being given the chance to work, learn, and grow together with such a fabulous team! The experiences you gain and the friendships you develop at ZGAS won't just stay within the walls of Baruch; they will continue beyond those walls throughout your life! I hope that you'll decide to join the ZGAS family. This decision will change your life in the most positive and powerful way as it did for me!"

" I want to join the ZGAS board so much that I served on the internal committee for a whole year, before I finally became the VP of marketing. That was one of my biggest achievements at Baruch. Without it, I don't believe I would have landed my dream job. If you are determined to become a CPA, if you want a complete "Accounting student at Baruch" experience, or if you simply want to make some more friends, don't miss out on ZGAS! You won't regret it!"

"I have served as a board member in ZGAS for two years. For me, the people at ZGAS makes it a different club. As the Vice President of Social Media, I utilized social media platforms to actively promote the club and professional events. My role helped me improve my written and spoken English a lot. As an international student who just moved to the U.S., I feel so lucky to join ZGAS. I made some great friends who helped me better adapt to a totally new environment and encouraged me to display my talents. I really liked working in a team environment where equally driven and talented people worked hard to better serve our members. I feel so proud to be associated with ZGAS. If you want a similar experience, you should definitely join ZGAS!"
