AAA: 2008 Outstanding Accounting Educator Award

Sponsor: The American Accounting Association (AAA)

Nominations for the 2008 American Accounting Association Outstanding Accounting Educator Award(s) must be submitted before June 1, 2007. Nominations are especially encouraged that propose educators whose career contributions have been at universities other than large doctoral-granting institutions. Any person or group may make nominations.

The general criteria, as adopted in 1972 when the Outstanding Accounting Educator Award was initiated, are contributions to accounting education from scholarly endeavors in research and teaching over a sustained period of time through:

(1) educational innovation,

(2) excellence in teaching,

(3) publications,

(4) research guidance to graduate students, and

(5) significant involvement in professional and academic societies and activities.

A nominee need not excel in each of these general criteria to merit consideration for the award.

Amount: The winner(s) will be announced in Accounting Education News and presented with a plaque, citation, and $5,000 at the 2008 Annual Meeting. This award is funded by the PricewaterhouseCoopers Foundation. An additional $5,000 will be donated, by the PricewaterhouseCoopers Foundation, to the AAA in the winner's name. The award winner will determine how the AAA will use the funds.

Deadline: June 1, 2007
