Join us for a conversation with Anton M. Lewis, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Accounting at Valparaiso University College of Business.
According to the most recent AICPA Trends report, the number of minorities hired into accounting and finance positions from 2013 to 2021 has steadily increased, however, the hiring of Black students and graduates dropped from 8% to 5% over that same period. This despite the fact that the number of Black students completing accounting degrees (bachelor’s & master’s combined) hasn’t significantly changed since 2013.
In this webinar, Dr. Lewis investigates the experience of Black accountants in the professions and works to develop a conceptual framework of multicultural diversity. Join us as he shares his findings and insights learned through his research. We hope you join the conversation!

Jina is a consultant and speaker on diversity, inclusion, culture, and belonging. She creates training programs and workshops to help clients move forward in their D&I journey. She is a storyteller and speaks candidly about her experiences, hard lessons, and ‘aha’ moments that helped her understand the importance of individuality, the value of curiosity, and the courage it takes to “just” be yourself. Often described as “approachable” and “relatable” by her clients, she works with purpose and the intention of being engaging, practical, and immediately applicable to real-world situations. Jina draws from her unique background and mix of work experiences to offer examples and share insights designed to benefit everyone across the workplace ecosystem – executives, management, employees, and customers.
Previously, she was Principal Consultant at EtiennePartners (EP), a boutique consulting firm that offered a unique strategy development, workshops & coaching to leaders, executives and entrepreneurs. Co-founded with her husband, EP was a full-time partnership in both work and life. Although in different professions, their work often intersected around the importance of self-awareness in leadership and navigating conflict within teams. Combining their experiences, backgrounds, and work led to the development of their unique approach to D&I, which she continues to use in her practice today.
