School of Accountancy Director’s Circle

The School of Accountancy (SOA) Director's Circle recognizes donors who make annual gifts of $500 or more to the SOA Advancement Fund.

This is truly an exciting time for the SOA at the Shidler College of Business. The generosity of our alumni and friends has allowed us to embark on new initiatives, building an even higher quality accounting education in Hawai‘i. Your investments will help the SOA remain a leader in accounting education and continue to build its reputation as one of the nation’s top public accounting schools.

Gifts from alumni, faculty, staff, friends and members of our community support the SOA’s mission by:

• Providing seed funds to start new projects and initiatives.
• Growing and expanding the SOA’s alumni network.
• Expanding networking and career building opportunities for students.
• Allowing the SOA to quickly respond to its greatest opportunities.
• Conducting conferences and continuing education courses.

To learn more about the inspiring initiatives at the SOA, contact the SOA Director.
