The Accounting Circle, established in 1997, is comprised of 68 business
leaders who support excellence in accounting education at the Lundquist College of Business. The Circle is the
Accounting Department's strongest link to the accounting business community.
These key advisors provide valuable guidance and recommendations on key issues
such as growth, curriculum, student programs, technology, and development.
In addition to serving as Circle members, these busy executives find time to
volunteer as guest speakers in the classroom and regularly attend Meet the Firms,
Career Night, and the Accounting Recognition Evening, making themselves available
to students and faculty.
