"My favorite event at Rice Business is the Annual Rice Around the World Partio. It is a huge event where the entire Rice Business community comes together to celebrate the different parts of the world we all come from and represent. Whether it is India, Mexico, China, or Texas, Rice realizes that everyone has unique differences and cultures that make you who you are and that it is worth celebrating. It is a full night of local and international foods, music, and dancing." - Doug Fiefa

Another One!
We are thrilled to announce that, for the third year in a row, one of our Rice MAcc graduates earned the prestigious Elijah Watt Sells Award. This is an extraordinary achievement, especially considering the purposefully small size of the Rice MAcc program. Interestingly, none of our three winners had an undergraduate degree in accounting. This demonstrates that students from any undergraduate major can excel in accounting!
About the Elijah Watt Sells Award
The Elijah Watt Sells Award program, established in 1923, honors the legacy of Elijah Watt Sells, one of the country's first CPAs. Every spring, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) announces the winners of the award in recognition of outstanding performance on the CPA exam. Recipients must have passed all four sections on the first attempt and obtained a cumulative average score above 95.5.
Our 2019 Winner
Molly Garrison, winner of the 2019 Elijah Watt Sells Award, graduated in the Rice MAcc class of 2019. Almost 75,000 individuals sat for the CPA exam in 2019 with the award going to the top 137 candidates. That puts Molly among the 0.02% of 2019’s CPA exam takers! Prior to the Rice MAcc, Molly earned her B.A. in English and Psychology from Rice University. She is currently employed with PwC in Houston.
