Choosing WKU was easy for accounting student Emilee Marshall, a senior from White House, Tenn. A fifth-generation WKU student, Marshall’s great-great-grandmother attended Potter College for Young Ladies, which would later become part of WKU. For Marshall, WKU felt like home before she even arrived.
During her time on the Hill, Marshall took advantage of the student success resources and extracurricular activities offered by the WKU Gordon Ford College of Business.
As a sophomore, Marshall joined Beta Alpha Psi (BAP), an honors accounting fraternity. She is now the Vice President of Reporting and loves being involved with the organization. Through a BAP event, Meet the Firms, Marshall was able to secure her current internship and her future job.
In August, Marshall was named a Public Company Account Oversight Board (PCAOB) Scholar for the 2021-2022 academic year. She was one of 253 students nationwide to receive a $10,000 scholarship from PCAOB.
