On 4/6/12, my husband John and big sister Naomi welcomed our son, John Nels, into the world. Last fall, we moved from Rochester, MN to Denver, CO, and are loving the Mile High City. I recently started working as a Senior Account Executive for a government relations/PR firm called The Kenney Group.
Rachel Dawson Birkey ’01
In August 2012, I completed my PhD in Accountancy from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. I have been teaching as part of the faculty in the Department of Accounting at Illinois State University since the Fall of 2010. In November, I was very honored to receive the Arthur H. Winakor Award for the Outstanding Accounting Faculty Member of the Year, as voted on by members of the Student Accounting Society. Along with the birth of my beautiful twins, Grant Isaac and Susanna Elaine, these accomplishments made 2012 a very special and exciting year for me!

My paper proposal was selected out of hundreds of submissions to be presented at the 2013 College Art Association conference. I will be representing the City University of New York where I teach as an adjunct art history professor. My topic, “Antoine Claudet’s ‘The Geography Lesson’: French Daguerreotypes and Victorian Education,” is one of only eight poster sessions that will be presented during the annual conference.
