Ole Miss Giving Day

This is for Now. This is for Ever. This is for the Patterson School of Accountancy.

For Building the Future and Fueling Excellence

The University of Mississippi’s Patterson School of Accountancy consistently provides Mississippi and the nation with leaders in the accounting and business professions. The world’s most complex challenges and greatest business opportunities require an accounting education that fosters analytical and critical thinking skills, complex problem-solving capabilities, deep knowledge of the inner workings of financial statements, broad cultural understanding, and a commitment to life-long learning.

The Patterson School has become a mainstay on the national scene, with our programs ranked in the Top 10 nationally for 10 consecutive ranking years, thanks to the dedication of the Accountancy faculty, the success of our students, and the generosity of alumni and friends. The Patterson School is ranked No. 8 in the country and No. 1 in the SEC in 2021 rankings.

For Creating New Spaces and Preparing Leaders

Our excellence has driven tremendous growth in the Patterson School of Accountancy, including a record number of 588 degrees granted in FY2021. A stunning four-story facility located on the corner of Grove Loop and University Avenue has been planned. The building will have more than 100,000 square feet of tiered auditoriums and classrooms, study areas, conference rooms, administrative and faculty office suites, and more. The planned facility will be an exceptional recruiting tool for the Patterson School and will allow us to attract and retain top students, faculty, and staff from across the nation. It will also provide an opportunity for us to become the No. 1 Accounting school in the nation.  

For Imparting Knowledge and Achieving Greatness

The commitment of alumni and friends to provide financial support through scholarships and faculty resources has greatly enhanced the School’s ability to recruit top talent. Diverse and stellar students, faculty, and staff support innovation, research, and lifelong learning.

Together we will build and expand transformational learning spaces, scholarships, and faculty support.
