The Lubin School of Accounting in the Whitman School has been cited as a top-10 school for faculty scholarly productivity by Academic Analytics/SUNY Stony Brook, and published by the Chronicle of Higher Education. Faculty scholarly output was rated by the number of books and journal articles published, as well as journal citations, awards, honors, and grants received. In addition to accounting, the ranking examined more than 100 other disciplines at 354 institutions. In other Lubin School of Accounting news, the Accounting Alumni Council has launched a new website for Whitman alumni in the accounting field who are interested in staying connected with the school, current students, and each other.
