In early November the CTCPA Educational Trust Fund (ETF) honored our Accounting Department, the Epsilon Lambda Chapter of Beta Alpha Psi, the UConn Accounting Society, and the UConn Student Chapter of the National Association of Black Accountants at the ETF’s annual awards banquet. The grants provided by the ETF help the Department and these three outstanding student organizations continue the many activities that make our program so successful and give those organizations the ability to expand those activities.

In addition to the above, Hasudin Pehratovic, a Junior accounting major won the Frank Frago Community Service award, given in remembrance of the late Frank Frago, a past President of the CTCPA Society. This is a competitive, state-wide award which requires applicants to submit an essay describing their community services activities.

Lastly, this summer Chris Brown ‘13 (MSA expected in May 2014) was selected to receive the ETF’s Merit Award for Academic Excellence. Chris is one of the many outstanding graduates of our 2013 accounting class and will be starting with Deloitte & Touche in the fall of 2014 after he completes our MSA program.

Congratulations to all of these students and their organizations-you make us very proud.
