The end of the school year brings about the season of awards, recognition and many changes, whether it occurs in elementary school, high school, or college. We\u2019d love to share a recap of our celebrations over the last month as we honored our graduates and their transition into the next chapter of their lives.<\/p>\n

MAcc Class of 2019<\/p><\/div>\n

The Master of Accountancy program<\/strong> holds an annual luncheon honoring their graduates and recognizing an outstanding student. This year\u2019s luncheon, sponsored by Ernst & Young, featured an inspiring speech from 2008 MAcc alum, Dustin Marshall who works as a Senior Assurance Manager with EY in Fort Worth, Texas. He encouraged the graduates not to make working their sole priority but to get involved with a church and develop a support system there, noting that the support of your spiritual family is invaluable in helping you navigate the difficulties that life will inevitably bring to each of us. Lexi Koon, from Arvada, CO, received the Outstanding MAcc Graduate Award for 2019 for her excellent grades, character, and integrity. Of her time at ACU, Lexi said, \u201cThe professors, the faculty, and the students have shown me what it is to look at those who are different from me and want to learn from them, to learn how to love them, and to be surrounded by a circle of people who have your back 100%. As I leave ACU, I feel completely supported and surrounded by an extraordinary amount of love and I am thankful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\t\t
