Accounting Curriculum Change Survey

As the Chair of the Accounting and Taxation Department, I believe your feedback is critical and welcomed for the continued excellence of our programming. Based on market research into the courses and programming we offer at Walsh, as well as several informal conversations with many of you, we have developed a survey that I hope you will find the time to complete. Of all the people that will be affected by any changes we make or do not make to the accounting curriculum at Walsh it is you; we are completely aware of the vested interest you have in your degrees and believe your voices should be heard. The survey should take 10-15 minutes to complete and if you are interested in the final results, we will be more than happy to share these results with you. To take survey, click here.

Mark R. Solomon Scholarship Fund

In memory of Mark Solomon’s legacy at Walsh College, one of Mark’s former students is issuing a challenge to increase the size of the Mark R. Solomon Endowed Scholarship Fund. This donor will match fifty cents for each dollar donated to the Solomon Scholarship Fund between now and June 30, 2013. The donor hopes that 100 donors will contribute $100 each, to raise $10,000 so that he can contribute $5,000, adding a total of $15,000 to the Scholarship Fund to honor Mark.
