Course Description

Join us for a conversation with Anton M. Lewis, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Accounting at Valparaiso University College of Business.

According to the most recent AICPA Trends report, the number of minorities hired into accounting and finance positions from 2013 to 2021 has steadily increased, however, the hiring of Black students and graduates dropped from 8% to 5% over that same period. This despite the fact that the number of Black students completing accounting degrees (bachelor’s & master’s combined) hasn’t significantly changed since 2013.

In this webinar, Dr. Lewis investigates the experience of Black accountants in the professions and works to develop a conceptual framework of multicultural diversity. Join us as he shares his findings and insights learned through his research. We hope you join the conversation!

Learning Objectives: 


  • Recognize demographic trends in accounting education and recruitment

  • Describe the role of race in diversity & inclusion efforts

  • Identify the importance of cultural awareness in fostering inclusion

Jina is a consultant and speaker on diversity, inclusion, culture, and belonging. She creates training programs and workshops to help clients move forward in their D&I journey. She is a storyteller and speaks candidly about her experiences, hard lessons, and ‘aha’ moments that helped her understand the importance of individuality, the value of curiosity, and the courage it takes to “just” be yourself. Often described as “approachable” and “relatable” by her clients, she works with purpose and the intention of being engaging, practical, and immediately applicable to real-world situations. Jina draws from her unique background and mix of work experiences to offer examples and share insights designed to benefit everyone across the workplace ecosystem – executives, management, employees, and customers.

Previously, she was Principal Consultant at EtiennePartners (EP), a boutique consulting firm that offered a unique strategy development, workshops & coaching to leaders, executives and entrepreneurs. Co-founded with her husband, EP was a full-time partnership in both work and life. Although in different professions, their work often intersected around the importance of self-awareness in leadership and navigating conflict within teams. Combining their experiences, backgrounds, and work led to the development of their unique approach to D&I, which she continues to use in her practice today.

About Our Presenter

Etiennelogo
Etienne Consulting's passion is diversity & inclusion. The company helps organizations and businesses, large and small, wherever they are on their journey to fearless inclusion. 

Etienne Consulting's work is informed by their unique mix of experience in public accounting & business consulting, association management & member engagement, and diversity & inclusion consulting and training. Although in a variety of roles and industries, their work has always intersected around the importance of self-awareness in leadership, clarity of purpose, and navigating conflict within teams.

This led them to develop techniques to deepen awareness and strengthen communication — core skills necessary for driving meaningful change in organizations. They work with businesses and firms to infuse diversity, equity, and inclusion across all aspects of people experience, operations, policy, communications, branding, and community & social responsibility. Their training programs and workshops are designed to bridge the gap between diversity and inclusion by offering concrete skills and communication strategies teams and use to build teams capable of leveraging their full diversity to drive innovation, growth, and lasting cultural change. They also offer support in developing, implementing, executing, and reporting on D&I strategy.
