Accounting students, alumnus earn awards
Bloomsburg University alumnus Caleb Jackson '17 has been honored with the Elijah Watt Sells Award by AICPA. The award is given to candidates who have obtained a cumulative average score of 95.50 across all four sections of the CPA Exam and who have passed all four sections of the examination on their first attempt. He is one of three in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania who have received this recognition.
Also, PICPA has announced its 2018 scholarship winners. Four Bloomsburg University accounting majors have received scholarships, including Justin Dickerson, Julie Nicolov and Matthew Swales who earned $2,000 Statewide scholarships and David Lopatka who earned a $1,000 Northeastern Regional scholarship.
MBA group takes leadership to the edge
Developing leadership skills is the heart of BU’s Master of Business Administration program, providing theoretical, analytical and operational expertise needed to meet the challenges of managing resources in dynamic, competitive environments. With this in mind, Leadership on the Edge was launched to give students a hands-on experience that reinforces leadership and management theories taught in the classroom.
This year’s MBA cohort took their LOTE course literally with a field experience to Mt. Washington — the highest peak in the Northeastern U.S. However, for several of the MBA students the climb to the 6,288-foot peak was not the challenging part.
