Connecting Academic Knowledge with Real-World Practice: Grant Thornton Romania x Indiana University Kelley School of Business x ACADEMIA DE STUDII ECONOMICE DIN BUCURESTI.
This spring, our team had the privilege of welcoming two students from the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University as part of the 2026 Field Study Program: a cross-continental initiative that brings together academic excellence and real-world professional experience.
Lucas Austin and Andrew Brooks joined our Digital Delivery Center, working alongside our audit support team for nearly seven weeks - full-time and fully immersed in the way we work at Grant Thornton Romania.
This collaboration was made possible through the strong partnership between Kelley’s Graduate Accounting Programs, Academia de Studii Economice din București (ASE), and our team here in Romania, a true bridge between the U.S. and Romanian professional ecosystems.
To Lucas and Andrew: it was a pleasure having you with us. We hope this experience shaped not just your CVs, but your perspective on what global professional life looks like.
To Christopher Cook and Catalin Albu – thank you for the trust and coordination that made this happen seamlessly.
To Dante Roza and Claudia Rapan – thank you for ensuring a smooth experience for the students and for supporting them throughout the program.
We look forward to continuing this partnership and welcoming future generations of talented professionals ready to take on the world. 🤝
