Ed Outslay, professor and Deloitte/Michael Licata Teaching Fellow in the Broad School’s Accounting and Information Systems Department, was the college’s recipient of MSU’s 1st Annual Curricular Service-Learning and Civic Engagement Award.
Outslay was named for the award by the Broad School for his 26 years of dedication to the Voluntary Income Tax Assistance Program (VITA). In addition to his activities in the organization at the national level, Outslay trains as many as 300 students annually – primarily accounting majors - to help prepare tax returns for low-income residents and international students. Thanks to Outslay’s efforts, Broad School students gain skills in tax preparation as well as a sense of civic responsibility.
The award was given to mark the 40th Anniversary of the Center for Service-Learning and Civic Engagement (CSLCE), a university-wide center jointly-administered through the offices of the Vice President for Student Affairs and Services and the Associate Provost of University Outreach and Engagement. The award was presented during the CSLCE 40th Anniversary celebration in early April.
