Hello, I'm Ron Barker. I am three semesters away from graduating. I enjoy going to Upper Park with my fiance and Beagle, reading car blogs and selling tickets to concerts.

My name is Suzanna Bailey and I am the current President of the Accounting Society and a member of Beta Alpha Psi.  I am currently in my third year of the MBA with an Accounting Emphasis Program.  In 2004, I graduated with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Animal Science with a Minor in Biology.  When I am not in class, I am a Receptionist at Chico State's Student Health Center, an EMT in the summer at Pacific Coast Producers, and a Unit Secretary at Enloe.  My hobbies are spending time with family and friends, sport shooting, watching movies, mountain biking, water-skiing, and photography.

Hi, my name is Rachel. I am an accounting major pursuing CPA. I am a fifth year. I am also involved in another club on campus called intervarsity.

Hello. My name is Taryn Barnard, I am currently a senior graduating in December. I work in the Associated Students/Research Foundation Business Office.  When I am not busy with work or school I enjoy cooking, photography, archery and spending time with my puppies. Since I have such a love for animals, I hope one day to have a small zoo in my backyard.


My name is Pedro Villa. I am a Senior with two more semesters left to graduate. I will graduate spring15 as an Accounting and Finance major as well with a certificate in accounting. I like to watch any sport, but I prefer to watch soccer and football. I also enjoy dancing Salsa. I recently joined a team from Sacramento. I also like going out to eat. But I enjoy cooking my own food more.

Hello, I'm Andrew Loveless , I will be graduating in Spring '15 with an Accounting degree and then sitting for the CPA exam. When my face isn't buried in a text book, it is buried in a computer where I'm a web developer for an amazing non-profit called One Media Player per Teacher. If I'm not programming then I've been known to run the Bidwell Park trails to get a little sunshine.

Hello my name is Jon Boothe and I like to refer to myself as "awesome extraordinaire!" I graduate Spring 2015. I like hiking, biking and long walks on the beach. I'm always willing to help anyone in need.

Hi, my name is Lizzie Richter. I'm pursing a degree in both Accounting and Spanish Language. I am from Knights Landing, CA, a small farming town. My initial interest in accounting began because I wanted to be able to help at my family's farm if they ever needed me. Upon graduation, I am planning to begin a career as an auditor. When I'm not studying at Starbucks, I spend my free time swimming and doing CrossFit. 

Hello, my name is Amy Leach. I am currently in my last semester of college where I will complete all requirements to obtain my CPA. I love having a good time with family and friends, and enjoy being involved in the Accounting Club.

Hi, I'm Gabe Penfield. I grew up in Hawaii and moved to California when I was 12. After attending high school in Santa Rosa, I started college and realized I wanted to work for a while before deciding what I wanted to do as a career. I held a job in telecommunication sales for 3 years before I found my calling to return to college as an accounting major. Since then, I have greatly enjoyed studying accounting at CSU Chico and embracing the great activities the community has to offer such as mounting biking in Upper Bidwell Park. I look forward to obtaining my CPA license and starting a career in public accounting when I graduate in fall of 2014. 


Hi I'm Brad Hill and am a senior. On Wednesday nights I play basketball for Matson & Isom then go to trivia night at Woodstocks.

Teela decided she wanted to be an accountant in high school. After almost changing her mind a few times, she will be graduating in May. Teela enjoys journal entries and cuddling with her cat.

My name is Cole Felt and I am from Rio Vista which is in the Sacramento River Delta of California. I am extremely passionate about giving back to the community through Rotary sponsored programs, improving my financial literacy, and teaching others about financial literacy. On the weekends I play soccer at 20th Street Park where the Chico State Accounting Department's infamous Wallace Leese can also be found playing soccer. 

Our first Club Meeting, "Meet the Club" was Tuesday, February 4, 2014. Accounting Department Chair, Tim Kizirian and College of Business Dean Hennessey gave great speeches welcoming students back for the Spring Semester.

Here are some pictures of the officers after the first meeting.
