Pat Hollihan, a teacher at Big Foot High School, has received a 2017 Accounting Career Awareness Grant from the Wisconsin Institute of Certified Public Accountants Educational Foundation, Inc.
Teachers who attended the fall 2016 WICPA High School Educators Symposium received the opportunity to write proposals about why they should receive funding from the foundation. Hollihan is one of 40 teachers to receive a grant.
Hollihan will use the grant to take his students on field trips to Fay Servicing, Deloitte, Eldorado Trading Group and Willis Tower to learn about different functions of accounting in various industries.
