In addition to helping numerous students enter into an accounting career, she also served as the Blanchard Professor of the Year, was named SAU Honor Professor, was the advisor for the Phi Beta Lambda student business group, and served as the dean of the Rankin College of Business.
“Dr. Terrye Stinson was a pillar in the Rankin College of Business,” said Dr. Robin Sronce, current dean. “Terrye was such an important part of SAU and the lives of so many of our students. We’re pleased that we and others can pay tribute to her at this dinner.”
Stinson calls SAU home, earning her undergraduate degree here. She went, on to earn her DBA at Louisiana Tech University.
