Dear Friends,
It’s been such a busy year in the Accountancy Department. My colleagues have done simply incredible work bringing innovations to their courses, producing impactful research, and sharing the benefits of an accountancy degree with broader audiences. I’m happy to share that they’ve done such a good job with the latter that our current enrollments and applications for admission continue to increase! We’re bursting at the seams with amazing students!
But the holiday season is here, so it’s time for us to take a little breath. In the coming weeks, I’m going to focus on giving undivided attention to family and friends—there is nothing more important. I hope all of you have the opportunity to do the same.
I’m also hoping that the list below and what you read on our 2024–2025 Accountancy Department Scholars page adds joy to your days! You’ll read that I’m not kidding when I say we have amazing students. You’ll also read about the amazing donors who established these scholarships—you might even know some of them.
As always, reach out to me with your stories—your emails bring me lots of joy! On behalf of all our faculty, staff, and students, have the best holiday season ever!

Love & Honor,
Annie Farrell
