"We are incredibly proud of Katie and Wesley on their truly impressive accomplishment within the accounting industry.

The Elijah Watt Sells Award program was established by the AICPA in 1923 to recognize outstanding performance on the CPA Examination, which is precisely what these professionals achieved. These two alumni not only thrived in the Belk College of Business MACC program, but are shining examples of passing with distinction. Katie and Wesley did not just test in the top 1%, but instead the top .06%."
