PQ CPE Session: Saturday, August 4, All-Day
Special CPE Session for Accounting Professionals Considering Teaching
As part of the American Accounting Association's outreach to accounting professionals, in light of the Ph.D. shortage, one of this year's Continuing Professional Education sessions (CPEs) at the Annual Meeting will offer accounting professionals with practice experience, but limited or no teaching experience in a university setting, the opportunity to learn more about moving into a full-time career in education. An all-day session on Saturday, August 4, will focus in the morning on Orientation for Aspiring Profession-Centered Faculty (Professionally Qualified), and in the afternoon on Teaching Tips from Master Teachers.
