The Âé¶¹´«Ã½ Accounting Association (Âé¶¹´«Ã½AA) is pleased to present the 2025 Accounting Professor of the Year Award to Professor Matthew Cedergren. This award is voted on each year by graduating seniors with an Accounting/A&IS major. Professor Cedergren joined the Âé¶¹´«Ã½ Accounting Department in 2020 after his time at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, and has evidently made a significant impact on our seniors' time at Âé¶¹´«Ã½ as an accounting professor. He is currently the Âé¶¹´«Ã½AA's advisor and teaches both ACTG 11 (Introduction to Financial Accounting) and ACTG 132 (Advanced Financial Accounting).

Âé¶¹´«Ã½AA Officers, Matt Cedergren, Accounting Professor of the Year

Professor Cedergren's teaching clearly shows his passion and enthusiasm for accounting. He helps students understand concepts using his own experiences and other real-world examples, and his teaching doesn't stop at the end of class time. His office door is always open, with him having a strong willingness and determination to help students wrap their heads around difficult concepts. His patience and excitement make learning a lot easier for students, and we are all deeply grateful for his constant support. Having worked for 2 years with Professor Cedergren on our Âé¶¹´«Ã½AA events, the Senior Officers cannot be more certain that he is one of the most deserving professors of this award; we greatly appreciate his dedication, time, and care.

Congratulations Professor Cedergren and thank you!

ACTG, LSB
