The OSPCA recognized Dulin at its award ceremony on Aug. 23. Honorees and award winners were “celebrated for their exceptional commitment and dedication to the accounting profession” while performing as leaders and standard-bearers within the state's accounting industry.
Several esteemed colleagues and leaders in the accounting field highlighted Dulin's accomplishments. Overall, the ceremony brought a greater sense of community and its commitment to excellence within accounting in Oklahoma.
“This award is not just a personal achievement; it’s a reflection of the hard work and commitment of the students I’ve had the privilege to teach, and the supportive environment provided by the Price College of Business,” Dulin added.
Dulin has been with the university for 12 years. After joining OU as an accounting instructor in 2012, he quickly rose to become the program coordinator of the MAcc Program in 2014.
