The Charles T. Horngren Seminar Series at Ӱ was founded in 2013 through the generosity of Charles (’49) and Joan Horngren and a partnership between the Accounting, Economics, and Finance Departments within the College of Business. The series consists of weekly workshop seminars by outside scholars as well as Marquette business faculty.
Dr. Horngren was a pioneer in the field of managerial accounting, and authored several influential textbooks including Cost Accounting: A Managerial Emphasis and Introduction to Management Accounting. He was also on the editorial review boards of Research in Governmental and Nonprofit Accounting (1982-88), as well as the Journal of Accounting Research (1962-1967).
In recognition of his lifetime of contributions to the accounting profession, Dr. Horngren was the first recipient of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Outstanding Educator Award, and was named by the Journal of Accountancy as one of the top 125 people who have made a significant impact on the accounting profession since 1887. Furthermore, Dr. Horngren was inducted into the Accounting Hall of Fame at Ohio State in 1990, and was listed in the inaugural class of 100 influential leaders in business education by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) in 2015. The Accounting Department proudly maintains a bookcase containing many of Dr. Horngren’s works as a tribute to his legacy.
