ACE Staff – School of Accounting Collaborative for Academic Excellence

Information coming soon!

Hello everyone! My name is Ricky Bisson and I am from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. I have a pretty big family, most of whom have attended Oklahoma State, so coming to Stillwater was an easy choice. The reason I chose accounting is because in high school, everyone had to take a class called Personal Finance. I fell in love with the class and decided that engineering was no longer what I would pursue in college.

This past Fall semester, I finished my undergraduate degree a semester early, so now I am a full time Master’s student. I will complete my Master’s requirements next Spring semester, then sit for the CPA exams. I am excited about the opportunities that this career path holds.

My best advice for accounting students is to get to know your professors. I can’t speak highly enough about the wonderful professors that I have gotten to know during my time at Oklahoma State. They are always willing to help and give advice, so don’t be shy!

My name is Erin Blair and I am from Choctaw, Oklahoma. I chose to attend OSU because of the welcoming atmosphere as well as the endless amount of opportunities that were presented to me. I came to Oklahoma State University with an open mind and took a couple of business classes. I chose to major in Accounting after I took my first Accounting course freshman year. Since I enjoyed it so much, I decided to major and develop a career in Accounting. My advice to students is to never procrastinate their studies and always have a positive attitude towards Accounting as it is a very important piece to maintaining a business. There are many people who want students to succeed, and ACE is always available when students need help.

Hi everyone! My name is Zack Tillotson and I am from Moore, Oklahoma. I am the first member of my family to attend Oklahoma State University and I am so glad that I chose to come here! I knew from the start that I wanted to do something in business, however, I was not sure where I wanted to start. Originally, I was a finance major, but after taking a couple accounting classes I decided to switch my major to accounting.

I am currently in my last semester of completing my undergraduate degree and after that I will be staying at OSU to go to graduate school and receive my masters in accounting. Deciding to choose accounting as a major has created so many great opportunities for myself that I never thought would happen.

The biggest piece of advice that I could give is to develop strong time management skills early on in your college career. Being able to manage and prioritize your time (especially as an accounting major) makes your life run so much more smoothly to where you are truly able to balance all that goes on in your life.

This is my first semester working at ACE, so if you see me around the business building feel free to come up and say hi. Go Pokes!
