Seven college students interning at Ernst & Young this semester had a chance to reverse their traditional roles, spending the day teaching instead of learning. These accounting interns, representing three different universities, shared lessons on working as a team, building a community, making good decisions and paying taxes with 100 2^nd grade students in five classrooms for JA in a Day at Mt. View Elementary School.

The college interns from Auburn University, the University of Tennessee-Knoxville and Vanderbilt University are enrolled in the accounting internship program at Ernst & Young, in the assurance services and tax services departments. The students combined the knowledge they have received during their internships with JA's lessons on community, government, goods and services, and local resources.

"In our knowledge-based global economy, children need an education to secure their future, and organizations like Ernst & Young need to recruit a talented workforce in every country where they do business. As one of the world's great global training organizations, we help our people realize their full potential. And through educational programs and outreach such as Junior Achievement, we are able to help young people in the communities around us realize their full potential as well," said Sarah Scott, campus recruiting coordinator for Ernst & Young.
