 | Dr. Laura Kreissl Assistant Professor "Accounting is a vibrant language founded on concepts and guidelines useful not only in commerce, but in life in general. Omnipresent in the foundations of accounting is an appreciation for fairness and understanding throughout the life of the transaction, whether it be the purchase of a piece of equipment or upon relationships with other people." EmailBio | |  | Dr. Anne Macy Associate Professor, Gene Edwards Professor of Finance "I chose finance and economics because I love that it is a mixture of the practice and the theoretical. The central theme is how people and firms make optimal decisions. The decisions exist in a world with competing goals and constraints. The answer is different every day and with every group of decision-makers. My favorite quote is from Katherine Hepburn (1907-2003): 'If you're ever asked to choose between youth and money - take the money. If you're given a choice between money and sex appeal - take the money. As you get older, the money will be your sex appeal.'" EmailBio | |
 | Dr. Sean Murphy Assistant Professor “Morality describes the way that any of us would like the world to work. Economics describes the way the world actually does work. You can’t change the world you live in until you understand it.” - Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner Email Bio | |  | Dr. Jim Owens Department Head, Professor "Teaching finance is enjoyable because it impacts virtually every facet of every student's life. While the specific topic may involve corporate finance, the student is involved since they can quickly see how the concepts apply to their own lives. To quote Will Durant: 'People who manage people manage people who manage things; people who manage money manage everything.'" EmailBioPersonal Page | |
