History of The Accounting Club
The society was formed in 1996, when the Project Discovery Student Association and the Accounting Club, founded by Shari Greco Reiches (BS `84) and Neal Goldstein (BS `84), were merged. The union reflected the implementation of the groundbreaking Project Discovery curriculum that in the fall of 1997 became the sole undergraduate accountancy curriculum available to Commerce undergraduates.
In 2010, Project Discovery Accounting Society nenamed itself The AccyClub, as the Accounting Program at the University no longer was closely associated with the Project Discovery terminology. Since the merger, The Accounting Club has become the largest accounting organization on campus and is exclusive to the University of Illinois.
