HONORS BANQUET Our annual Honors Banquet in April recognizes students from our undergraduate and MAcc programs for merit-based scholarships. In 2025, the School of Accountancy celebrated over 100 awards to students with over $375,000 worth of scholarships and assistantships given. Donors, students, and faculty celebrate the accomplishments of awarded students and network at this event. Students were able to connect with donors by engaging in team activities in addition to a banquet luncheon. Nichole Smith, Director of Real Estate, Data, and Reporting at Cox Enterprises an alumnus of KSU was our keynote speaker. She spoke about the value of an accounting degree and what can it do for your career.
PCAOB Kennesaw State University nominated three exceptional students for academic scholarships from the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) for the 2026-2027 academic year. We are pleased to report that Anthony DeAngelo, Jack Coleman, and Milla Eldridge were awarded scholarships in the amount of $15,000 each. TECHNICAL AND ETHICS FORUM The annual Accounting and Auditing Forum is a longstanding partnership between the School of Accountancy and the North Atlanta Chapter of the Georgia Society of CPAs. Due to changes in CPE requirements, the SOA focused on technical and ethical practices to meet the new standards. KSU faculty volunteer their time to make professional presentations to the chapter’s members that qualify as Continuing Professional Education credit. In return, the proceeds of the event are donated back to the School of Accountancy. The proceeds donated back to the SOA totaled $2,320.00.
PARTNERSHIPS Our sponsorship program welcomed 46 companies this year. The commitment process is underway for the 2025-2026 academic year. Many more companies and CPA firms have already shown a newfound interest in the 2025-2026 Partnership Program. The program represents over $197,000 in support with every partnership level including a component of scholarship funding. Partners can connect with students to recruit, network, and educate our SOA undergraduate and MAcc students about the benefits available in the accounting profession.
