The accounting department at LeBow College of Business has made several leadership changes and program enhancements in response to student feedback requesting more experiential learning opportunities and faculty interaction. Professor Jennifer Wright was appointed director of the MS in Accounting program to expand concentrations and develop a co-op program. Professor Stacy Kline was appointed Director of Student Engagement to facilitate more interaction with faculty, alumni, and employers and promote experiential learning. These changes will allow the new department Chair, Professor Barbara Grein, to focus on attracting and retaining top faculty while building external relationships.

THANK YOU HUBERT
Dr. Hubert Glover joined the faculty in
2010 and has been the department head
for the last two years. His influence has
been much larger than that short time
period would suggest. For those of you
who have had a chance to interact with
him, you know he advocates the Câs â
Compassion, Competence, Collaboration,
Communication, and Critical Thinking. Hubert modeled each of them
in his leadership and dedication to the accounting profession. I could
give you many examples of each, but let me pick creativity. Hubert
always looked for a creative ways to make education rewarding. Not
just at the student level, but with our faculty, administrators and alumni.
He always tried to create new ways to include all stakeholders in the
education process and to have the experience be rewarding. From
all of us here at LeBow, we want to thank Hubert for inspiring us.
Looking ahead, my goal is to continue to build on the theme of collegiality
and collaboration. Collaboration among the faculty, students, alumni, and
friends of the department increases our research impact, learning in and
out of the classroom, and fosters a stronger overall profession. I look
forward to connecting and investigating opportunities to collaborate.

ACCOUNTING AND SPORT MANAGEMENT
GRAD HEADED TO HARVARD LAW
By Natalie Shaak | Jun.6,2016
To say John Quagliariello had a busy college experience would be
an understatement. Not only is he completing requirements for two
undergraduate degrees with three six-month co-ops in just five years, he did
so as a Division I student-athlete.
John received his bachelor of science degrees in sport management and
businessadministrationwithamajorinaccountingthisspring.Butcompleting
his degrees wonât give him much time to relax. His busy lifestyle will continue
as he heads to Harvard University Law School in the fall.
John grew up outside of Philadelphia in Springfield, PA, and came to Drexel
as a sport management major and member of the varsity swim team. His
father, also named John, graduated from Drexelâs engineering program in
1986, but John says his father didnât push him to choose Drexel. It was joining
the Drexel swim team that made the decision for him.
Academics have always been a priority for John. It was in planning his
freshman year schedule that he noticed a number of classes required for
the sport management program were offered through LeBow. He thought it
would make sense to see if he could plan a schedule that would allow him
to get degrees in both business and sport management. He worked with
advisors from both programs to identify the classes that overlapped so he
could fit his coursework into just five years. Of course this meant taking 18 to
20 credits per term along with his practice and competition schedules.
Inthisplanning,hemadesurethathisco-opexperiencesreflectedthecross-
discipline nature of his academic coursework.
It was during his accounting co-op at Sunoco that he started to explore the
idea of pursuing his law degree.
âIwasworkingintheaccountingfirmwithtaxattorneys,andIlikedwhatthey
were doing more than just what the general accountants were doing,â he
says.âIntalkingtothem,theystartedtonudgemeinthatdirection.Istartedto
do some self-reflection and studying for the LSATs, and here we are.â
His long-term goal is to work in collegiate athletics, ideally in an athletic
director role. He sees his combination of studies as ideal for this career path.
âI feel that having a business degree underneath me as well as sport

LEBOW SENIOR NAMED DREXEL STUDENT
LEADER OF THE YEAR
By Natalie Shaak | May18,2016
Senior accounting and finance major Andres Vivas Lopez was presented
with the Student Leader of the Year Award on May 12 at the annual
awards banquet sponsored by Drexel Student Life and the Undergraduate
Student Government Association.
The award is presented to one undergraduate student each year who
âhas shown outstanding leadership and vision and has exemplified a
dedicated involvement and commitment to making a difference in the lives
of Drexel students.â
Andres transferred to Drexel from the Community College of Philadelphia
after completing his associateâs degree in business administration in 2013
and immediately got involved on campus, joining the Accounting Society
and the Association of Latino Professionals for America (ALPFA). He
served as the president of both organizations over the past two years.
His nominator, Hubert Glover, PhD, head of the Accounting Department,
noted his compassion, sincerity, communication skills and leadership
ability as what sets him apart.
âHe is remarkable in his unselfish focus on helping others reach common
goals,â says Glover. âHe represents the best of the University where
our experiential learning advantage develops maturity, insight and
professional capability prior to graduation. His co-op employers have
been impressed by his leadership, communication and sincere interest in
connecting with people, which is the core of their business.â
As for his leadership philosophy, Andres repeats what he frequently
shares with his fellow students: âWork smart, not hard. Thereâs no need to
reinvent the wheel. Hard work is appreciated and admired, but not at the
expense of efficiency.â
Andres will be working for KPMG, his former co-op employer, following
graduation in June.

CPA TREK TO WASHINGTON, DC
Our accounting students took a trek to Washington DC to see the city, meet with various accounting organizations
and talk about life and business in the metro area. The morning started early as we loaded the bus at 8 am, with
coffee in hand, to arrive in DC. We were greeted by Sarah Turcotte and Lee Klumpp from BDO who lead off the
day with a discussion about the nonprofit industry and it is differentiated from working with for-profit companies.
It was an interesting discussion and students enjoyed the lively presentation. Thanks to BDO for providing lunch
and conversation.
The group then walked past the White House to the Center for Audit Quality (CAQ) on K street. The CAQ hosted
our students and discussed their organizationâs history, current projects and their mission. Thank you to Catherine
Nance, CPA, Nicole Holden, CPA, and Margot Cella, Director of Research who provided insight to our students
about the accounting profession and the industry beyond the debits and credits of financial statements.
Our final presentation was back at the Washington, DC office of Drexel University from PWC. Stephanie Wolf,
Omar Toor and Darryle Jones provided a fun discussion on the unique projects that they experienced in their
years working for the firm in Washington DC. Our students also enjoyed hearing about the career paths of all
the professionals. Afterwards, all our presenters were invited to a networking event with alumni and friends.
Students were able to ask questions and continue the conversation about working and living in the DC area.
Thanks to all alum who joined us for food, drinks and mentoring.

Professor Jennifer Wright and Professor Stacy
Kline received a grant from PWC to work on a
unique senior capstone project to be embedded in
to the third Financial Reporting course taken by all
accounting majors at LeBow College of Business.
The goal of the project is to help students culminate
their accounting experiences in the Financial
Reporting course sequence and demonstrate their
understanding of various concepts they learned
in all accounting classes. The uniqueness of this
project related to the cross-over of courses.
Students enrolled in Financial Reporting III complete
a multi-part senior capstone project. One part of this
project requires students to collaborate and consult
with students in another major accounting class link
the accounting experience across the curriculum.
⢠During winter term, students enrolled in the
FinancialReportingIIIclassconsultedtheBusiness
Tax class on the tax provision that was completed
for the financial statements. The students enrolled
in the Business tax course reviewed the provision
and suggested correcting adjustments or raised
issues relative to the tax provision.
⢠During spring term, students enrolled in the third
Financial Reporting class were asked to work
together with the Cost Accounting class on a lease
versus buy decision and determine the effects on
the financial statements.
Business decisions are increasingly complex and
interdisciplinary, calling on knowledge across many
business-related disciplines. The daily tasks and
responsibilities of newly licensed CPAs require
knowledgebeyondsimpletask-basedskillsbutneed
to have a higher level of professional skepticism and
an increased integration of accounting concepts.
The changes that will be made to the CPA exam
in coming years address these issues. The senior
capstone project was developed to help prepare
students for a career in accounting and successful
licensure, as well as to engage students in a
multi-course project that crosses the accounting
disciplines and promotes a deeper learning and
integration of business concepts.
In addition to reviewing technical competencies,
students learned the importance of teamwork,
communicating information and meeting deadlines.
Students had to make decisions as a team and
ensure clear communication of any adjustments
they felt were necessary to the projects. Students
had to provide reliable data in a timely fashion and
then make adjustments before the deadline. All of
us in the profession understand the difficulties this
can present in meeting client due dates.
The feedback from the students was generally
positive in the overall learning experience, but
all students wanted more time; donât we all.
Professors Kline and Wright presented their project
and experiences at the American Accounting
Associationsâ Annual Meeting during the Center for
TeachingandLearningSymposiuminAugustof2016.

END OF BUSY SEASON
This past Spring term a team of fourteen
undergraduate students applied their Drexel
classroom knowledge to assist a local not-for-
profit organization, Project HOME, with their system
of internal controls. The team divided their time
between the classroom and the location. In the
classroom they learned about designing, testing
and improving systems of internal controls. Though
some of the students had previous coursework
in the area, this unique opportunity made them
evaluate the applicability of their classroom learning
to a live accounting department.
Thentheytookthatknowledgetothenextlevelandwent

They conducted interviews, collected documentation,
researched system improvements and designed tests
of the current system. They learned about the work
done by Project HOME and saw how they could apply
their business skills in civically engaged work. As the
term progressed the students developed a working
relationship with management and staff at Project

The course was designed by Donald Ross in 1928.
Rossâ original design was to incorporate a parkland
setting with more than 100 bunkers, slopes, valleys and
doglegs in an effort to require superior shot making.
Recently, Aronimink has undergone a restoration and
renovation project guided by architect Ron Prichard in
an effort to restore all bunkers to their original design,
add an additional five acres of fairways (up to 31 acres)
and restore the pond in front of the 10th green.

CONSIDER PURSUING YOUR
PHD OR EXECUTIVE DBA
by Professor Christopher Laincz, Director, LeBow PhD Program.
As the PhD Director, people often ask me for advice about PhD Programs. My
first response to their questions is more questions, âWhy? What do you think you
will get in a PhD Program?â Then I tell them, âknow what you are getting yourself
into first.â After, and only after, we have had that conversation do we begin to
discuss how to go about finding and getting into a PhD Program. To learn more,
we created a series of posts on LinkedIn meant to demystify PhD Programs,
handle the application process, and increase your chances of not just getting
into a program, but getting into one youâll be happy with once youâve made the
decision to apply. Please use this URL: http://tinyurl.com/h3gnvz7.
