Current Accounting Students
(it's not all about the books)
 Every year, Mr. Clark treats the auditing class to a pancake and sausage breakfast. Katelynn Hill Lomax and Justin Wessels enjoy "seconds". |
 Our fall 2010 accounting club field trip took us to the Elliott, Robinson and Company, CPA firm in Springfield. |
 Mr. Clark is a lot safer with his new helmet that he got for Christmas from the 2011 class. |
 Becky Jolliff, Jarrett Finnell, and Matt Hefley enjoyed "giving back" to Mr. Clark all the Wall Street Journals they had used during their SBU career. |
 The
SBU Accounting Junior Class of 2010 is happy about finishing
Intermediate Accounting II. Many of these students have valuable
Accounting internships during the school year. |

Wanamaker, Managing Partner at BKD in Springfield, Missouri (10th

many services BKD provides. |

These SBU Warriors survived the Intermediate Accounting Year-- the
toughest year in the program And they are still smiling (because when
they graduate most of them will have the 150 hours completed to sit for
the CPA exam)! |
 Jessica Aug receives her birthday cake from Mrs. Sharla Bailey of the
SBU Accounting faculty. Mrs. Bailey bakes each Accounting major a
birthday cake during the year----- energy for studying, I'm sure.
Jessica passed the CPA exam on her first try (SBU students pass the CPA exam at a faster
rate than the national average). |
