My interest in accounting came from my father who worked as an accountant for Merrill Lynch in NYC.  I was inspired to pursue an academic career in accounting by two faculty members at my alma mater, Indiana University.  These two professors opened up a career opportunity for me that I had never considered, and have never regretted. 

 Faculty members at RMU are very committed to student learning and success.  RMU professors provide students with an education that is professionally-relevant, challenging, and rewarding.  Students learn theory, but they also develop the practical ability to work and be successful in their chosen discipline.
