Community Engagement
The Department of Accounting is fortunate to lead multiple community engagement events and extends the following resources to our community and students alike.
The Meonske Conference is held in Kent, Ohio, at Crawford Hall on Kent State University’s main campus—home to the Ambassador Crawford College of Business and Entrepreneurship. Named in honor of its founder, Professor Emeritus Norman Meonske, the conference has earned a strong reputation for delivering high-caliber content and welcoming hospitality. Designed for accounting and finance professionals, the event offers a total of 16 hours of Continuing Professional Education (CPE) credit. Attendees have the option to register for one or both days of the conference.
The Department of Accounting is dedicated to promoting accounting education and the profession among high school students. The department hosts the annual high school accounting case competition in the Fall, and the CPA Day and CPA Camp in the Spring and Summer.
The Department of Accounting invites top accounting scholars to share their current research with our faculty and doctoral students.
