2008-2009 Accounting Seminars
The Accounting Division seminar series consists of weekly presentations by eminent academics, prospective faculty members and the division’s own faculty members. Unless otherwise noted, Spring 2009 seminars are held on Fridays at 2:15 p.m. in 332 Uris. In most years, spring semester seminars are recruiting sessions featuring candidates for faculty positions.
In addition, the division invites distinguished scholars to our annual Burton Workshop.
The current seminar schedule is listed below. If you have any questions, please e-mail the division's Assistant Director.
