Dr. Mostafa M. Maksy, of Whitehall Township, was awarded the Chambliss Faculty Research Award during Kutztown University’s (KU) faculty and staff convocation and celebration, held earlier this month.

Maksy is a professor of accounting and has authored and co-authored books on the subject of financial accounting, intermediate accounting and financial statement reporting and analysis. He has served as a KU acting accounting discipline coordinator, is a member of the department’s curriculum committee and of the University Senate and has published more than 40 articles in various journals, such as The Accounting Review and Accounting and Business Research.

Maksy holds a Master of Business Administration degree from New York University and a doctoral degree in accounting from the City University of New York, Baruch College.

The Chambliss award, inaugurated in 2004 through a gift from Dr. Carlson R. Chambliss, professor emeriti of physical science, is meant to recognize the very highest achievement in research and scholarship and can be awarded only once within a person’s career.
