Accounting Circle

About the Accounting Circle

The Accounting Circle, established by the Department of Accounting in 2009, comprises of business leaders who support excellence in accounting education at Temple University's Fox School of Business. The Circle is the Department's strongest link to the accounting business community as its members are remarkable individuals — accounting firm, corporate, and community leaders, alumni, and other friends — who believe in the accounting profession and education. Accounting Circle members volunteer as guest speakers in the classroom and attend departmental programs available to students and faculty. Accounting Circle members provide inspiration, leadership and private gift support that are vital to keeping accounting education at the cutting edge of the student’s educational experience. 

Benefits of Membership

Accounting Circle member benefits include:

• Participation in Alumni Weekend events at Temple University.
• Attendance at a Temple basketball game in the Fox Box.
• Special communication from the Department of Accounting Chair.
• Opportunities to participate in the Fox School speaker series and other Fox events.
• Involvement in internship and employment recruitment efforts from a pool of high performing student recruits skilled to meet the needs of their firms and companies.

• In its inaugural year, Accounting Circle donor benefits are valid from January 1, 2010 to June 30, 2011. In future years, donor benefits will become effective for a 12-month period commencing on July 1.

Accounting Circle Members support accounting education in Pennsylvania through research, scholarships, student-focused speaker series, faculty support and volunteer community-assistance programs such as the IRS VITA program.
