 Chris Friot, Class of 2012, recently accepted a position as a Tax Consultant for Deloitte. Chris is an accounting major who participated in the Alumni Mentoring program his freshman year. The mentor he received encouraged him to do an internship at First Investors, where he spent the majority of sophomore year.
Chris says that, "working here helped me to build valuable skills, as well as build my resume. This was a turning point in my college career." Chris then took on a second internship at the publicly traded company Mercury Computer Systems.
These opportunities, along with determination and a strong academic track record, helped Chris land a job at Deloitte, currently ranked #1 of the Big 4 accounting firms. Chris begins his position when he graduates in May 2012.

 TKE-in-a-Box
The gentlemen of Tau Kappa Epsilon braved the elements in the cold and continued their yearly tradition of living outside in a box for a good cause.
TKE, one of two fraternities on campus, raised over $2,000 (the most ever!) to benefit both the Bread and Roses Homeless Shelter in Lawrence as well as the Ronald Reagan Alzheimer's Association.
Thanksgiving Basket Drive
Merrimack's Campus Ministry team coordinated this year's Thanksgiving Basket Drive and helped local families enjoy a delicious thanksgiving meal. Three vans were filled with over 70 baskets for families in need!
The Thanksgiving Basket Drive partners with an organization called Neighbors in Need, which serves at-risk families and youth in Greater Lawrence by providing food, clothing, and other necessities.
