Callahan Earns Spot on Top Journal’s Editorial Board

For release:  October 24, 2011

Dr. Carolyn Callahan, KPMG Distinguished Professor and Director of the School of Accountancy (SOA) at the Fogelman College of Business & Economics, has been invited to serve as a member of the editorial board of The Accounting Review, a premier journal for accounting research, by Senior Editor J. Harry Evans.

In addition to serving in this new role, Callahan has been working to strengthen the SOA’s ties to the Memphis business community. Recently, for example, Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare established two new internships for accounting students. Callahan also has been working with Reynolds Bone & Griesbeck (RBG) on a new partnership.

“I am scheduled to speak to the full partnership of Reynolds Bone & Griesbeck (RBG) at their Summit in November,” Callahan said. “Given placement of our students at RBG, I am now prepared to ask one RBG partner to join the SOA Advisory Board in a multi-year pledge. With these two, the size, quality and composition of the SOA board would outrank Georgia and Georgia Tech, my self-selected large city benchmarks.”
