The Annual Spring Awards Banquet

The Accountancy Department at Weatherhead hosts an Annual Spring Awards Banquet to honor outstanding students in accountancy. Each year, the department invites a guest speaker to give a lecture on the afternoon of the banquet. In 2010, we were privileged to welcome Lynn Turner, Senior Advisor and Managing Director of Forensic Accounting at LECG, formerly Chief Accountant of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, as our guest lecturer.

As always, the festivities continued with dinner and the presentation of awards for excellence to both MAcc students and undergraduates, and to the Accounting Alumnus or Alumna of the Year. In 2010, Fiona Chambers, ’94, Office Tax Managing Partner for Deloitte Tax, was named Alumna of the Year. We look forward to our 80th Annual Spring Awards Banquet in 2011!

What Is it Like to Be a Weatherhead Student?

At Weatherhead, small class sizes mean one-on-one interaction with academic pioneers and industry leaders. Our faculty excel in teaching as well as research, and the opportunity to share their insights and excitement in the most up-to-date and creative areas of management studies is one that Weatherhead students prize. The diversity of our student body, too, enriches the graduate experience with points of view from countries and cultures around the world. Because students tend to learn from one another as much as from teachers, teamwork is a prominent feature of many classes; Weatherhead students form friendships within and outside of the classroom.
