We started the last day of SAS off with donuts from Rise in honor of Chris’s birthday! After a yummy chocolate frosted donut, Grace and I had our first meeting of the day with Millinda, who explained the support system SAS has for its customers as well as the finance behind it. Then, we listened in on the weekly voice call Lisa has with the finance directors from EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Asia!). In only an hour, they were able to complete their 30-point agenda, and we got to hear from Sweden, Czech Republic, UK, and Belgium! After that, the fun began! It’s Employee Health and Fitness Month here at SAS, which means we got to participate in a 5k walk/run, and then eat yummy food from the food trucks at the finish line. In addition to food trucks, there were also Zumba classes happening and lots of other fun activities, like Ultimate Frisbee! Grace and I, along with Courtney and Adanna, ate fro-yo on the lawn as we watched other employees jamming out to Sia, Meghan Trainor, and more. After the fun afternoon, we grabbed a quick lunch at Building T. Finally, to wrap up the day, Grace and I met with Lisa, who discussed Legal and GAAP Reporting. Overall, we had a great week here at SAS, and learned so much about the various careers within the umbrella of “finance”. Hopefully, we’ll be back here in the future!
