Accounting Area

The Accounting Area of the Costello College of Business is excited to announce the launch of Kearney Accounting Workshop Series, generously sponsored by Kearney & Company. This collaboration aims to foster innovation and research excellence in the Accounting Area and the broader research community.

Rachel Absolu, a senior studying accounting at the Donald G. Costello College of Business at George Mason University, was awarded the Kearney and Company Scholarship in Accounting for the academic year of 2023–2024. Accounting alumnus Jae Hoon Jeong, who graduated in December 2023, received the Accounting Excellence Scholarship and James R. Beers Endowed Scholarship during his final academic year.

The students’ trip to the headquarters showed them how they could apply what they have learned in the classrooms as future professionals, whether it be at the SEC or elsewhere.
