The College of Business Administration and the hard-working committee that conducted a national search were delighted when Sharon Lassar<\/strong> accepted the position as director of the School of Accounting. She, in turn, was pleased recently by a reception that Deloitte, and Carlos Sabater<\/strong>, Deloitte South Florida and Puerto Rico\u2019s managing partner and chair of the School of Accounting\u2019s Advisory Board, hosted for her.<\/p>\n

On October 10, 2007, from 5:00-7:00 p.m., about sixty people gathered at the Miami City Club, where Sabater welcomed the attendees, Executive Dean Joyce J. Elam<\/strong> introduced Lassar, and Lassar spoke. The guest list included accountants, advisory board members, other business partners, and faculty and staff from the college.<\/p>\n
