Last month we hosted MPAcc’s 15 Years & acCounting Celebration, bringing together 70+ current students, alumni, faculty, staff, leaders, advisory board members, and employer partners to commemorate the 15th anniversary of our Master of Professional Accountancy (MPAcc) program.

It was a wonderful night of reconnecting with and honoring so many different members of our Accounting Roadrunner Community.

Over the last 15 years, we’ve had 40+ faculty, 10+ staff, and 430+ alumni – what an impactful 15 years!

Check out some photos from the event!
