Why I Want To Pursue A Career At Pace University

My plans for Summer 2018 were to spend time with my family in India after a long and productive Spring semester at Pace University. I was looking for summer management internships in India when my father suggested taking a look at an opening in Grant Thornton. It is the fifth largest accounting firm in the World.

I am given to understand that I would be working a lot with excel preparing reports. I really hope I can make Pace Delivers extremely successful.
