"I really
believe, with
all my heart,
that I'm
teaching accounting, but
more than that I'm just
trying to teach young
people how to be a
better person and how to
achieve more in life,''
said
Dick Kochanek, accounting
professor emeritus who retired
in December after devoting 43
years to teaching.
"We have a quote for
every class and they all
focus on being the best
you can be. I want them
to get the point that
every day they should be
using more and more of
their talents…that they
can achieve great things
but they have to work
very, very hard.''
"What we teach is based on what we study, know and care deeply
about, and hopefully our students—be they undergraduates,
master's level, Ph.D., executives or corporate attendees at our
executive events—will all learn from our passion and commitment.''
— Lucy Gilson, professor and department head of management, and academic director for the
