“In 2018, both the Fox School and the Department of Accounting celebrate 100 years of business education and preparing leaders for successful careers. All alumni, corporate partners, and friends of the Fox School are encouraged to share in this singal event by nominating graduates who exemplify our tradition of excellence. Please join us at our celebratory event to support tomorrow’s accounting leaders,” said Eric Press, PhD, chairman of the Department of Accounting.
