The School of Accountancy recognizes excellence among our supporters, faculty, alumni and students to acknowledge the efforts of those who have helped us achieve the mission and goals of our School. Students are honored via the Dean's List for those who achieve a 3.6 grade point average or higher during a given semester. Our alumni are recognized through the School of Accountancy Hall of Fame for their outstanding achievements in business endeavors. Our faculty have received awards and honors that exemplify excellence in classroom instruction. And finally, our generous supporters are acknowledged for the contributions that they have made in gifts which allow our program to continue to thrive and flourish.
The UNL School of Accountancy Hall of Fame is designed to honor those graduates
of the CBA program with an accounting degree or emphasis who have achieved state,
national and/or international standing in their business endeavors and who, through
their example, provide current students inspiration for accomplishing their own
career goals.
Anyone may nominate a candidate for the Hall of Fame to the School of Accountancy
Advisory Board and faculty. In selecting nominees, nominators should consider, but
not be limited to, the following criteria:
- The nominee is a graduate of the UNL College of Business Administration with a degree or emphasis in Accounting.
- The nominee has achieved statewide, national and/or international prominence in a distinguished accounting career in public accounting, business, education or government. The individual must have a demonstrated record of achievement and impact on the accounting field.
- The nominee has performed significant service to the communities of which he or she was a part.
- Through the nominee's professional accomplishments, integrity, personal values and service commitments, the nominee serves as a constructive role model for current and future School of Accountancy students.
Subcommittees of the Advisory Board and the faculty will consider the nominees recommended
and select the inductee(s) for recognition. It is expected that candidates will
attend their induction into the Hall of Fame. There is no requirement that inductees
be added to the Hall of Fame every year.
