The Board will provide valuable insights, recommendations, and connections that will help enhance the quality of SCSU’s academic offerings and better prepare students for successful careers in the dynamic field of accounting.

Principal of GRF’s Accounting Technology Services practice, Mr. Norton was nominated by the accounting department’s faculty because of his significant achievements and diverse professional experience. As a board member, Mr. Norton will review and provide feedback on the department’s curriculum, identify trends and innovations in the accounting field, facilitate industry connections, and support the department’s fundraising efforts.

SCSU’s School of Business recently moved into a new state-of-the-art net-zero building and secured its initial AACSB accreditation, a distinction held by only 5% of business schools worldwide.
