Alumni show their Sharing success with other graduates During recent years Trevecca accounting graduates have found success at Healthcare Corporation of America (HCA, the nation’s leading provider of healthcare services, located in Nashville). Because competition for jobs at HCA is aggresive, landing a job at HCA is considered quite an achievement.

Amy Bolton Wheeler ’04, an accounting graduate, began working for HCA in the internal auditing department, was later asked to become the assistant controller at Centennial Medical Center in Nashville, and was recently promoted to the controller’s position.
Even with her busy schedule, Amy took time to visit Trevecca and helped Stephen Bearden ’06 obtain a position in the internal auditing department. Like Amy, Stephen was more than willing to help Trevecca graduates and students obtain positions with HCA. Several more recent Trevecca graduates have benefited from Amy’s and Stephen’s willingness to give back. Chad Uram ’07, Aaron Crum ’08, Derek Henrichs ’09, and Kyle Davis ’11 have recently found employment at HCA. Kyle, still a fulltime student, was able to commit his spring semester to a full-time internship opportunity that came about after Stephen and Chad spoke to an accounting class in the fall. Additionally, Gonzalo Elorza ’05, who started his career in a coveted position at the international accounting firm Deloitte, recently joined the HCA internal auditing team.
Teaching current business students Two alumni of the School of Business returned to campus to speak to current business students. Mike Miranne ’87, an investment manager, spoke in the School of Business’s student chapel. It was his second time to speak to students in three years. Stan Jones ’95, a special agent for the Drug Enforcement Administration, spoke to the Internal Auditing class about how accountants can put their skills to work combating drug trafficking and money laundering.
