SundayReads: During his four years at Rutgers Business School-Newark, Gary Carter savored the diversity and the opportunities that were available to him as a student.
continues to provide support, mentoring and opportunities to network with alumni and other professionals.Office of Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Access “We had a cohort of friends we could rely on,” Carter said. Throughout his time at Rutgers, he said, B-STAR helped him mature through its professional training and development.
Carter hopes to make an impact as he progresses on his career path. He said he wants to help close the gap where there is a lack of diversity in Corporate America. “It can be who you know, not what you know,” he said. “If you’re in, don’t be settled in, don’t get comfortable, help someone else get in.”
Carter took extra classes to finish the five-year accounting program in four years. After graduating, he will work as an associate for KPMG’s Economic & Valuation Services, an area where he interned the summer after junior year and assisted during the firm’s busy season this year. Carter first connected with KPMG when the B-STAR program visited KPMG’s Short Hills office. Recruiters encouraged Carter to apply for KPMG’s Embark Scholars, a multiyear internship program that helps develop high-performing students of color into future leaders at the firm. Carter spent the summer after sophomore year with KPMG in a rotation program of the audit, tax, and advisory areas.
During freshman year, Carter spent three days in Hollywood, Calif., learning more about the accounting profession through Rutgers RISE program.
