Dear Alumni and Friends: Accounting at Iowa is where great stories begin. The tag line, “Start your story here” on the University of Iowa’s website is a nod to our world-renowned writing program, but it is also an accurate way to characterize the Iowa accounting experience. Majoring in accounting creates opportunities. Nearly 100 undergraduates are starting their first courses in the major this fall— Income Measurement, Asset Valuation, and Introduction to Taxation. Where their stories go from here is sure to amaze. In the last five years, Tippie students have launched their careers at more than 100 companies in dozens of cities in the United States and around the world. Our alumni are leaders in their communities and professions. Many of our students are the first in their family to graduate from college, yet their career trajectories include positions in C-suites of public corporations with global footprints and leadership roles in the largest public accounting firms. 2 IOWA LEDGER 2021 We started a few new stories this year— or at least new chapters. The Tippie College of Business welcomed a new dean, Amy Kristof-Brown. She is not new to Tippie, though. Dean Kristof-Brown has been a professor of management and entrepreneurship at the University of Iowa since 1997 and stepped into the interim dean role just as the pandemic took hold. The University of Iowa also welcomed its 22nd President, Barbara Wilson. One of her first visits on campus was with the director of the Accounting Writing Program, Carl Follmer. We’ve been at the forefront of the narrative for a while! This year’s chapter includes some welldeserved recognition of our faculty’s research. Henry B. Tippie Chair of Accounting Dan Collins (BBA68/PhD73) and Henry B. Tippie Excellence Chair in Accounting Paul Hribar (PhD00) are ranked in the top 100,000 (top 2%!) of most impactful scientific researchers in 2019. The accounting department was ranked 11th for the relevance of its accounting research, and Professor Jaron Wilde was ranked second in the tax area in the American Accounting Association’s publication, Accounting Horizons. Our department ranks 25th in research over the last 20 years (UT Dallas ranking) and our Ph.D. program is ranked 8th worldwide for the success of its Ph.D. graduates in financial archival research (BYU ranking). We are also saying some farewells. Professor Doug DeJong (BBA70/ MBA71), who served as department head from 2008-2014, retired last year and Professors Joyce Berg and Dan Collins will both retire at the end of this academic year. For 16 years, Professor Berg has mentored students in VITA and Beta Alpha Psi. Professor Collins has served the department and university for more than 40 years. He has been the department head twice and was the director of the Ph.D. program for over two decades. It is hard to imagine what our next chapter looks like without them. We are planning big celebrations of these milestones and our good fortune in working with them both. The best part of getting to be the department executive officer is hearing your stories! Please share your anecdotes of Professors Berg and Collins with me and Iowa Ledger Editor Amanda May at amanda-may-1@uiowa.edu. I hope you enjoy reading this issue and I hope you will let us know your story, too! Warmest Hawkeye regards, Cristi Gleason Accounting Department Executive Officer Carlson-KPMG Research Professor cristi-gleason@uiowa.edu
