What:
OCOB Olympics is the Cal Poly Accounting Club’s networking and annual charity event that provides students and professionals the opportunity to socialize and play interactive games in a casual and fun environment.
The OCOB Olympics is Cal Poly Accounting Club's biggest annual philanthropy event that provides an opportunity for students and professionals to socialize and participate in interactive games in a fun, casual setting.
Since OCOB Olympics will take place during October, which is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, all proceeds from this event will go to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure, an organization dedicated to fighting breast cancer through fueling research, patient care, and education programs.
Students regardless of their grade level will gain the opportunity to learn about and become acquainted with professional accounting firms from the Big Four, national, regional, local, industry, and government in a more casual manner. Light refreshments and dinner will be provided.
