We are delighted to have two new faculty members joining us in the coming year.
In Summer, Dr. Brooke Beyer will join us. Brooke is a K-State Accounting graduate and also holds a PhD from Oklahoma State. Brooke comes to us from Virginia Tech where he has been an Assistant Professor for the past four years. Brooke will be teaching in our financial accounting and accounting theory areas.
In Fall, Dr. Rebekah (Becky) Heath will join us as a Teaching Professor. Becky holds a PhD from the University of Nebraska and is currently employed at St. Ambrose University in Iowa. Becky will be teaching international accounting and financial accounting.
Two of our colleagues – Dr. Dan Deines and Dr. Richard Ott – are entering the phased retirement program. Under this program, they will each move to a reduced load in the coming year. Both Richard and Dan have made amazing contributions to K-State Accounting for many decades and although they will have reduced involvement in the department, we are delighted that they will remain engaged with us for a while yet.
Boy do I feel old. I had Dr. Dienes for intermediate accounting 1 and 2. Of all the professors I had he made the biggest and best impression on me. I want to wish him the best in his retirement and just really good thoughts for all time.
