Alex Duguid

Alex Duguid
Alex Duguid ’23 is pursuing a dual major in Accounting and Finance and plans to graduate in December. He is involved with the Accounting Club and has had several internships.

Do you have any hobbies or interests outside of school, and how do you balance these with your academic commitments?
My favorite hobby outside of school is golf, which is a summer/fall sport. I try to do most of my school work during the weekdays so that I can golf and relax on the weekends.

Have you had the opportunity to participate in any internships or hands-on learning experiences related to your major? What are your future aspirations or goals for after graduation?
I was a tax intern at Schaffner, Knight, Minnaugh & Company in the spring of 2023, which was a great experience, and I would recommend it to anyone majoring in Accounting. This internship inspired me to seek a public accounting job, and I will start as a full-time tax associate at BDO in Pittsburgh in January. I was also an internal audit intern at PNC in the summer of 2023.
