RALEIGH — The National Association of Black Accountants singled out Lynette I. Wood, Ph.D., with the Earl S. Biggett National Achievement in Education Award during its annual convention in Las Vegas in June. The award acknowledges her excellence, dedication and leadership within the field of accounting education. Wood is the dean of the Shaw University School of Business and Professional Studies, where she also is a professor of accounting.
Students are emerging from Shaw University’s business school as certified tax preparers and securing high-level internships at top firms including Deloitte, EY and KPMG. It’s a byproduct of the structure Wood has established.
