Time and time again, our professors at the David Eccles School of Business prove to be some of the most talented educators around, and professor Robert D. Allen is proof. This month, the American Accounting Association (AAA) honored him as the recipient of the 2018 American Accounting Association/J. Michael and Mary Anne Cook/Deloitte Foundation Prize.

The AAA/J. Michael and Mary Anne Cook/Deloitte Foundation Prize has three recipients each year. Allen is the recipient of the graduate award. Other award recipients include Marsha M. Huber from Youngstown State University for the undergraduate award and Carolyn B. Hughes from Buncombe Technical Community College for the two-year college award. Recipients will be presented with their awards at the Washington, D.C., ceremony on Aug. 6, 2018.

Allen is huge contributor to the Eccles School and to the community through his valued service, and he has been the recipient of many other esteemed awards for his accomplishments, including the University of Utah Distinguished Teaching Award, the University of Utah Student’s Choice Award for Teaching, and the Utah Outstanding Educator Award from the Utah Association of CPAs. We are proud to have such a wonderful professor of accounting at our school.

Congratulations!!
