Stocks Named 2009 Outstanding Faculty
The Marriott School of Management honored Kevin D. Stocks with its highest faculty distinction, the Outstanding Faculty Award, at the annual Marriott School Awards Night on 3 April.
Holder of the KPMG professorship, Stocks joined the faculty at BYU in 1983. Since that time, he has taught courses at all levels in the accounting and MBA programs, authored two books and published articles in several scholarly journals. For the past six years, Stocks has served as the director of the BYU School of Accountancy. Currently, he is the president of the Accounting Programs Leadership Group of the American Accounting Association.
"Kevin's administrative leadership is successful because he is first and foremost a people person," says Gary C. Cornia, Marriott School dean. "His concern for others is so obvious and so genuine that Kevin receives the support of his peers without ever needing to ask for it."
