William Petty, a senior accounting major, was selected to participate in Temple University Diamond Peer Teacher Program for Spring 2019. The program provides opportunities for students to experience the challenges and rewards of college-level teaching through the Office of the Vice Provost for Undergraduate Studies. Petty will be assisting Professor A.J. Kreimer with the introductory level financial accounting course, meeting regularly with Kreimer and other peer teachers to develop his pedagogical skills. The program only accepts forty students per semester and provides recipients with a small stipend.

Petty is the co-head tutor of the Department of Accounting Tutoring Center, supporting a staff of ten peer tutors. He is also a member of Beta Alpha Psi, the accounting honor society, and he is pursuing a minor in Management Information Systems. Petty has accepted a position with Deloitte as an audit assistant, following his graduation in May.
