Smith Celebrates Accounting Teaching Scholars

The University of Maryland's Robert H. Smith School of Business celebrated students in the Accounting Teaching Scholars (ATS) program at an annual reception and dinner on April 17, 2014. ATS is part of the Smith School’s Undergraduate Fellows Program.  

At the dinner, the 2014-2015 Accounting Teaching Scholars were welcomed and the service of the 2013-2014 ATS was celebrated. The ATS are a select group of top undergraduate accounting majors who serve as teaching assistants for the Accounting Principles courses.

The Accounting Teaching Scholars serve as discussion leaders in these breakout sections and hold several office hours every week to provide one-on-one help to over 2,000 students enrolled in these two classes. In the process, our ATS develop amazing communication and problem-solving skills.
