The University of Central Arkansas (UCA) College of Business has dedicated its Accounting Lab in memory of Jane Grigsby Arthurs, a devoted educator and alumni of UCA. Arthurs gave 35 years of her life to teaching Business Education.
The Accounting Lab helps engage and equip BTÌìÌÃstudents who are taking accounting classes with hands-on accounting activities and through tutoring both in-person and online. The lab is dedicated to the memory of Jane Grigsby Arthurs (Feb. 12, 1942 to June 25, 2023) who earned her BSE in Business Education at Arkansas State Teachers College, now known as UCA.
“Jane Arthurs was my high school accounting teacher, and she set me on the path to my career. I learned a lot from her, not just about the field I would eventually go into, but about what it meant to be a teacher,” said Dr. Stephanie Watson, BTÌìÌÃAccounting Department Chair and Professor of Accounting.
“I will never be able to thank Jane enough for what she did for me, and I am honored that Jane will continue to make a difference here in BTÌìÌÃAccounting in the years to come,” added Watson. [Read more…]
