Aronson & Company Awards Grand Prize in Video Submission Contest

ROCKVILLE, Md., May 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Aronson & Company, a nationally
ranked top 50 accounting and consulting firm, recently announced the winner of
the grand prize for their Show Us Your Future video submission contest created
last fall. The winning entrant is Casey Bennington, a senior at Virginia
Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech) in Blacksburg, VA.
"Casey's video was funny and creative, but most of all, it showed that
today's students are really thinking about what the future holds for them,"
commented Lisa J. Cines, Aronson & Company's Managing Officer. "We are
learning a lot about this new workforce -- their demands, their needs and
their expectations -- and it's very exciting to be able to design programs and
policies that address these unique characteristics."
In September, Aronson & Company launched the Show Us Your Future video
submission contest geared toward college accounting and finance majors
entering the job market. In order to win the grand prize, a
student-to-professional makeover worth more than $2,500, entrants were asked
to submit a three minute video that creatively demonstrated where they saw
themselves after graduation. The video entries were posted on YouTube.com and
streamed to the contest website, http://www.showusyourfuture.com, where people
viewed and rated the videos, with the highest number of votes going to
Pennington's video.
Pennington remarked on the appeal of the Show Us Your Future approach,
"Increased advances and implementations of technology are allowing students
and employers to get in touch with each other so easily that it is shaking the
very foundations of traditional job hunting."
Pennington will be traveling to Aronson & Company headquarters in
Rockville, Md. on May 28-29 to receive his grand prize, which includes such
individual prizes as professional image services, clothing, resume
consultations, housing stipends, a cash award and more.
