The Accounting & Finance Fellows Program is a selective program that empowers students to explore the wide range of careers available in the fields of accounting and finance, develop a unique awareness of current issues and ideas that shape the fields, cultivate a depth of knowledge on a specific and relevant topic within the fields, build their professional networks,  and connect their studies and interests to the broader world through a travel learning experience funded by The Woltemade Center.

This program is supported by an endowment established by Ohio Wesleyan University graduates Mr. James W. Pry II ’67 and Mr. C. Nicholas Pry ’63 in tribute to their mother, Louise Crider Pry. The Louise Crider Pry Memorial Endowment supports the Accounting and Finance Fellows Program, enriching the education of promising accounting and finance students with practical learning experiences and academic support.
