The Patterson School ol Aecountancy is no stranger to success, being ranked by the Public Accounting Report as one of the top 30 accounting programs in the nation for the past seven years and in the top 20 for the past four years. But in 20 1 1 , the school received its highest ranking in its history: No. i o in the nation. Dean of accountancy. Wallace Wilder, isn ' t shy when it comes to the pride he has tor his school. As of December 201 1, we were the highest ranked accounting program in the SEC. Wilder said. Anytime you can say you ' re number one in the SEC. you ' ve got some good things to talk about. Wilder said one of the main reasons for the school ' s success is the National Library of Accounting Profession, the world ' s largest collection of accounting literature, which is housed on Ole Miss ' campus. That has been a great source of national visibility. Wilder said, We ' ve had professors, researchers, and Ph.D. students from around the country come to this campus because of that library. While Wilder admits the accounting library being on campus certainly gets positive attention, he gives the majority of the credit to the award-winning faculty of the Patterson School of Accountancy, all of which are certified public accountants. Wilder said that his school values teaching excellence very highly, and four teachers have won the Elsie Hootl Outstanding Teacher .Award, as well as many other awards. That ' s just eviticnce that our faculty is committed to being outstanding teachers, Wilder said. Dale Fleshcr, associate dean, professor of accountancy and Arthur Andersen Lecturer, is one of the most Irctjuenl award- winners. Two of Flesher ' s more recent awards are the Distinguished Achievement in Accounting Education award from ihe American Institute for Certified Public .Accountants and the Distinguished Research anti Creative Achievement avvarcl from the University of Mississippi. I feci lihe m job is jiisl soil of lo cl oul of Ihe way and lei (he sUidenls lake o nei ' ship of Ihe acliyilies we do. QUOTE J RILEY SHAW Flesher said he thinks that one of the reasons he has received so many awards is the amount of time he puts into his research and accountancy in general. A lot of professors will do the amount of research it takes to get promoted and tenure, but to keep up throughout your career is somewhat unusual. he said, Flesher believes that being a separate school of accountancy motivates the laculty to excel as teachers and researchers. We want to prove that this is a great organizational structure for an accounting program and we need to work just a little harder to prove that, he said. Bui Flesher and the accountancy faculty aren ' t the only ones in Conner Mall working to make the Patterson School of Accountancy look good - the honorary organization of Heia Alpha Psi is raking in the awards as well. J. F iley Shaw, associate professor of accountancy instruction and faculty advisor ol the Beta Alpha Psi, refuses to take credit for the success of the chapter. Shaw saiti that in the past four years he ' s been the advisor, the organization has received a superior ranking consecutively and in 20 1 o they receivetl the prestigious Cold Status for their professional events and community service. Patrick Calagan. senior accounting major and Beta Alpha Psi officer, said he owes the Patterson School of Accountancy much and would like to win Gold Status to repay his debt. I think thai by us being successful as officers of Beta Alpha Psi, we can sort of propel our program forward and get a better name for Ole Miss oul there. he said- Shaw said he thinks that what makes the chapter so special is thai students are in control. feel like my job is just sort of to get out of the way and let the students take ownership of the activities wc do. he said. They ' re the ones who deserve all the credit for what our chapter has achieved. STORY BRADLEY BOLEWARE 271
