Abstract

The University of Colorado has established a program by which partners of national accounting firms will spend one or two semesters as a "Partner in Residence" to participate fully in the academic activities of the Accounting Division. The purpose of the program is to strengthen and professionalize accounting education. The burden of providing partner time is minimized for each firm by rotating the position among the participating firms. We have identified transitional periods in partners' careers where it would be feasible to participate in the program. The program offers mutual benefits to the students, accounting faculty, participating partners and their firms. At present seven firms agreed to participate in the Partner in Residence Program.
