Edward A. Bartko, CPA '72, speaker

Partner
PriceWaterhouseCooper

"Mr. Bartko started as a staff accountant with Libran, Ross Brothers & Montgomery which is now known as Price Waterhouse Cooper where he is a partner in the firm. He has worked in auditing, financial advisory services, divestitures, and the Enron incident. He advised us that throughout our career if we get bored with our job, change division instead of changing employers."
- Keith Kirby, senior accounting and business administration major

"Perpetual learning, constant re-engineering and having a life plan are Mr. Bartko's three keys to becoming successful."
- Chad Evans, senior accounting and business administration major

"The philosophy of life Mr. Bartko shared with us is a 1/3s concept: 1/3 self, 1/3 job, 1/3 family. If you aren't happy, then you can't be happy in your job or family."
- Mitch Berndt, senior business administration

"Mr. Bartko talked about the three ways to maximize productivity: challenge them, respect them and help them."
- Ryan Yeager, senior business administration major

"Mr. Bartko told us to pay attention to detail, respect everyone, pitch in, respect other's time, and remember that we don't know everything."
- Erica Eddings, senior business administration major
