A Message from the Chair
Greetings from the SCU Accounting Department!
On the beautiful morning of June 17, 2023, I attended the undergraduate commencement ceremony in the University’s Stevens Stadium celebrating the graduation of 1,590 members of the Class 2023. Among them, 54 students were accounting majors and 13 A&IS majors. It has been a long time, especially after the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, since I witnessed first-hand the joy and excitement of our graduates.
