Generous Donors—Excellent Programs

The connection between the generosity of our donors and the outstanding reputation of the Texas accounting programs is no secret. We rely on donors who support our “extra” initiatives not funded by the State—scholarships, teacher development, research support, tools for building an up-to-date curriculum—that make the difference between an unremarkable program and one that stands among the best in the country.

We are proud to acknowledge our generous donors who contributed to the Department of Accounting between September 1, 2007 and August 31, 2008. We hope to make them proud as we strive to make sure that our standing as a top program endures.

We have made every effort to compile a complete and accurate donor list, and apologize for any inadvertent omissions or errors. Please contact Amy Miller at 512-471-5316 if you have questions about this list.
