🎉 Student Spotlight: Janae Sampson Selected for Prestigious Accounting Scholars Development Program in DC!

We’re proud to share some exciting news from the Accounting program at Milwaukee Area Technical College (MATC)! Janae Sampson, a dedicated and ambitious student, has been selected to attend the Accounting Scholars Development Program (ASDP) this summer at Howard University in Washington, D.C.

This competitive, residential summer program runs from Sunday, July 13 to Friday, July 18 and is designed to give community college students like Janae a powerful introduction to university life and the accounting profession.

ASDP is more than just a glimpse into the world of accounting—it’s a launchpad. The program equips participants with essential academic and professional skills to help them succeed as they prepare to transfer to four-year institutions and work toward becoming licensed CPAs. From hands-on sessions led by senior accounting faculty to mentorship from professionals at leading CPA firms, the week is packed with valuable learning, networking, and inspiration.

One of the best parts? All transportation, lodging, and meals are fully covered by program sponsors, removing financial barriers and allowing students to focus entirely on growth and opportunity.

Janae’s selection is a reflection of her hard work at MATC, leadership potential, and passion for accounting. We can’t wait to see all she will accomplish during the program—and beyond!
