Dr. Talbott Receives WSU Trustees’ Award for Faculty Excellence

The Wright State University Board of Trustees selected John Talbott, Ph.D., professor of accountancy, winner of the Trustees’ Award for Faculty Excellence. The award is presented to one faculty member each year in recognition of sustained excellence in teaching, scholarship and service.

Talbott’s students have won the National Student Case Competition sponsored by the Institute of Management Accountants (IMA) an unprecedented four times and have finished in the top four on three other occasions. Last August at the American Accounting Association national convention, the IMA presented Talbott with a special recognition award.

Talbott also organized a unique program for Meadowdale High School students. The program invites students to Wright State once each week for two months and introduces them to accounting practices and career opportunities in the accounting profession.

A two time winner of the Alumni Teaching Award, Wright State previously named Talbott a Distinguished Professor. He has been chosen the outstanding teacher in the Raj Soin College of Business on six occasions. A member of the Board of Directors of ESKCO Corporation, Talbott has also chaired Wright State’s Faculty Affairs and Budget Review committees.
