Dylan Fosko '26.
Dylan Fosko ’26 admits he has a constant hunger for more. A double major in accounting and finance, Fosko not only chiseled his five-year program into just three-and-a-half years, but completed two internships and has two more solidified for spring and summer 2026.
He strives to maximize every learning opportunity and said Moravian University provided him the ideal setting to succeed and push his limits.
“[Moravian] has the approach of you get what you put in. Being embraced and challenging myself…wanting to better myself and have those career outcomes has made Moravian a perfect place for growth,” he says.
To nurture his growth, Fosko is involved in the Amrhein Investment Club on campus that’s dedicated to helping students learn about investing. It’s grown from an initial $20,000 investment in 1962 and just recently surpassed $7 million. Fosko started as a fund manager of the club, allowing him to build acumen in finance and investing, and has since become its market analyst. In this higher position, he analyzes current financial markets and helps plan for the club’s future.
Fosko wasn’t always big on numbers, however. He struggled with math in elementary school and fell behind until the “switch just totally flipped” in ninth grade. Suddenly, he was getting A’s, taking honors math classes, and realizing that with his knowledge, he could make a big impact with numbers.
That impact was immediate in his first two internships.
Leveraging Drive and University Resources
Right after his freshman year, Fosko was an operations management intern at Wegmans grocery store. He was introduced to working with financial metrics, overseeing about 130 employees and their daily transactions. He monitored checkout processes and product sales, analyzing items per minute and financial metrics to determine how to increase the store’s efficiency.
During Fosko’s second year at Moravian, he interned at St. Luke’s University Health Network as a healthcare administration intern in materials management. He reviewed service tickets, assisted with various projects related to their new enterprise resource planning software, and managed backend data.
“I really liked the opportunity to know that I was making a big impact as an intern. I felt I was empowered to work and have my own decision making process at St. Luke’s, which allowed me to further grow and develop,” Fosko says.
He credits a large portion of his real-world success to Moravian’s Laurie Riley ’82 Center for Career Success. From as early as his freshman year, he worked with his dedicated career strategist to put himself in a proper position to succeed with his career.
Fosko utilized Handshake, Moravian’s platform for connecting students with employers and finding jobs and internships. He also attended events such as the career center’s Coffee and Connections, an annual campus gathering that connects alumni with students to promote networking and professional development. During the event, Fosko made a connection to RKL LLP, a firm in Allentown that provides assurance, tax, advisory, and wealth management solutions. Since then, Fosko accepted a role as a tax intern for RKL starting in spring 2026.
He’ll be client focused, helping smaller corporations prepare their tax returns. Fosko is eager to get this first-hand experience during the busy tax season while still continuing his studies at Moravian.
Inner Transformation and the Big Four
After completing his internship at RKL, Fosko will begin his next internship at PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC). The firm is one of the Big Four—the four largest global accounting networks measured by revenue. Fosko will be working in PwC’s Philadelphia office and is hoping to get a return offer from the firm during the final weeks of his internship.
I recognized I was a natural introvert, but I wanted to highlight my leadership abilities. RISE really helped me look inward, and I came out a different person.

In preparation for their upcoming internship, Fosko and other PwC intern candidates flew to Florida in March for the Destination CPA program, an invitation-only program hosted by PwC for aspiring CPAs who have received an internship offer.
During the event, Fosko met Aaron Konnick, the senior vice president and global head of tax for UPS; and Tiffany Willis, the senior vice president of investor relations for Starbucks. Fosko said he’s honed his networking skills and felt prepared to branch out thanks to Moravian’s RISE Teamwork and Leadership Program. The four-phase undergraduate experience is designed to empower students to fully realize their potential.
“I recognized I was a natural introvert, but I wanted to highlight my leadership abilities,” Fosko says. “RISE really helped me look inward, and I came out a different person.”
Robert Brill, director of the RISE program, agreed that Fosko’s “brilliant capacity for finance and economic-oriented analytic skills” were there, but his soft skills were a work in progress.
“What a treat it was to see him work on these in a very deliberate and committed manner. He diligently worked through self-assessments and skill-building modules, pursuing self-designed goals and action plans to build on his strengths and address areas of development,” Brill says. “It was part of the Moravian magic to see Dylan engage so effectively with teammates and community members who had very different learning, communication, and work styles. His growth is a huge source of pride and affirmation of the goals and impact of the RISE Program.”
Fosko has already connected with countless Moravian alumni from the MBA program, the accounting field, St. Luke’s, and PwC. He advises others to actively connect with alumni, be active on Handshake, and showcase accomplishments on professional sites like LinkedIn.
As for finding internships, Fosko advises: “Don’t apply just to apply.”
“Make sure you align yourself with something you want to do,” he says, “because if you’re working a job you don’t like and all you did was focus on getting internships in that job…how is that going to help you find a job in what you love and want to work at?”
A Focus on the Future
Fosko plans to obtain his CPA within his first year after graduation. Whether he receives a job offer from PwC or not, he knows his options are open. Down the line, he may return to school for a master’s degree in taxation, a juris doctor, or an LLM in taxation. While Fosko’s goal is to become a partner within a firm, he could also see himself as a CEO or CFO of a Fortune 500 company.
Fosko’s determination to succeed is grounded by his demeanor. He credits his advisor and accounting professors Mark Koscinski and Daniel O’Connor, saying he wouldn’t be where he is today without them. After visiting several colleges, Moravian was the first campus that truly felt like home. That sense of belonging, coupled with strong personal and academic support, propelled Fosko into a world of opportunity, ready to step through the doors of PwC this June. —Davin Fields
