Congratulations to accounting professor Amy Foshee Holmes, Ph.D., who has received the Outstanding Accounting Educator Award in the Small College category. This accolade is a testament to Holmes鈥 exceptional dedication and excellence in accounting education.
Funded by the TXCPA Accounting Education Foundation, the Outstanding Accounting Educator Award is given to Texas accounting educators who excel in teaching and distinguish themselves through active service to the accounting profession.
Holmes makes it her mission to not just teach with innovative methods but also to encourage her students to make connections with the local San Antonio community. For example, in 2017, her students learned how to complete a 鈥減roduction cost report鈥 by assembling Valentine鈥檚 Day treat bags with candy and then filling out a worksheet to record the cost of the 鈥渄ay鈥檚鈥 production. Holmes delivered the resulting 62 Valentine's Day treat bags to the . Her students valued this fun learning experience that allowed them to give back to the community and helped them see beyond the numbers and really visualize the elements that go into creating a production cost report.
Holmes thanks Dean Robert F. Scherer, Ph.D., and Julie Persellin, Ph.D., 鈥渇or their support and guidance, allowing faculty to excel, develop their interests, and play to their strengths.鈥
