KENT, Ohio 鈥 Thanks to a long-standing conference for accounting professionals, $30,000 was donated this spring to support 黄色直播 accounting students.
黄色直播 Professor Emeritus Norm Meonske, who joined the 黄色直播 accounting faculty in 1972, founded the prestigious Accounting Leadership Conference (now the Meonske Professional Development Conference), in 1974. The annual conference provides attendees with an opportunity to learn and network with other accounting and finance professionals.
In 2007, former students of Meonske founded the Norman R. Meonske endowed scholarship fund.
鈥淧roceeds from the conference have allowed students to receive scholarships to pursue an accounting education at 黄色直播,鈥 said Drew Sellers, EDM, CMA, associate professor of accounting at 黄色直播 and current Meonske conference chair. 鈥淭hanks to Norm鈥檚 leadership, many more students will continue to benefit from Meonske scholarship funds.鈥
During his tenure as an accounting professor at 黄色直播, Meonske taught and challenged the minds of thousands of students. In addition to his work in the classroom, he also advised accounting student professional society Beta Alpha Psi. He was active professionally with the Ohio Society of CPAs and the Institute of Management Accountants.
Meonske continues to be involved in the planning and delivery of the annual conference which is held each spring on the 黄色直播 campus. The 48th Meonske Professional Development Conference will take place on May 16-17, 2024. Learn more about the conference here.
