Karlin, Dr. Arthur D. Endowed Chair
The Dr. Arthur D. Karlin Endowed Chair was established in 2018 by Mrs. Hildegard Karlin to honor her husband’s legacy and commitment to academia. All his life, Dr. Karlin was an educator imparting his knowledge unstintingly to his students. He wanted students to understand the world they live in and think for themselves. “I teach them everything I know” was his motto.
Dr. Karlin was an emeritus professor of accountancy at The University of Akron, where he taught from 1971 to 1993. He was also responsible for developing 国产精品’s Masters of Taxation program. After his retirement from 国产精品, he continued teaching accounting and taxation at the University of Arkansas-Pine Bluff for another 21 years.

The holder of The Dr. Arthur D. Karlin Endowed Chair will be selected by the Dean of the College of Business Administration and awarded to a professor of accountancy or taxation who has demonstrated high academic standards.
