CBPP Highlights

ASSET Awards – Fall 2025

The ASSET Award (Accounting Student Success & Engagement Tech Award) is a new ĢƵ Accounting Department initiative recognizing Anchorage-campus Accounting and Bookkeeping majors for academic performance and engagement. Each semester, students earn points through coursework and departmental involvement, and five recipients are randomly selected to receive university-supported Windows laptops funded by the Lenore and George Hedla Fund through the Accounting Department Computers for Students Program. In December, five CBPP Accounting students received laptops through this initiative. Launched this fall, the program celebrates student commitment, supports success, and strengthens the Accounting learning community through a transparent, semester-end award process. If you’re interested in learning more about this program, please contact Stasia Straley at scstraley@alaska.edu.
