Dr. Royce Burnett, Ph.D., dean of the Earl G. Graves School of Business and Management at Morgan State University, has been inducted into the Wilton T. Anderson Accounting Hall of Fame at Oklahoma State University (OSU). The award recognizes OSU alumni for their outstanding contributions to the accounting profession.
“Receiving this recognition is one that is deeply meaningful to my professional and academic journey as an accountant and higher education administrator,” Burnett said in a statement. “To be recognized in this way affirms the work I’ve dedicated to the accounting profession, my students, and the broader business and social communities. This honor motivates me to continue striving to bring excellence to the classroom and to remain committed to mentoring the next generation of professional and academic accounting leaders, both of which will, undoubtedly, prove instrumental in serving the community with integrity and purpose.”
Under his leadership, Graves School has become Morgan’s most highly enrolled institution. The school’s MBA program is ranked No. 54 nationally, according to Bloomberg Businessweek. The HBCU recently formed a partnership with UNCF’s ACCLAIM (Accelerating Learning in Asset Investment Management) project, which aims to prepare students at Historically Black Colleges and Universities for leadership roles in the finance sector.
