End of Year News


We are quickly approaching graduation in the BCU Business Department, and with that, a flurry of end of year activity.  We have some exciting successes this year. 

Our Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program has been reVITAlized (pardon the pun) thanks to our new Economics/Accounting Professor, Tommy Raulson.  He led our Accounting students through over 300 tax returns this year. 

The Enactus team brought home National success this year for the 11th straight year, including being named one of 8 national finalists in the Johnson and Johnson Cares competition for their work in Tanzania Africa.   

We have exciting plans for youth entrepreneurship in the works and have formed partnerships with Beyond the Bell and the Sioux City and Heelan school systems.  More on that in the fall.   

We are sad to announce that one of our most popular professors, Dr. Anne Power, will be leaving us at the end of this semester.  We wish her well.  Thank you for your support of the Briar Cliff University business department.  Have a great summer, and we’ll talk with you next fall!
