Lincoln, Nebraska- Peru State College is pleased to announce that Cassandra Weitzenkamp was named to
the Nebraska Board of Public Accountancy Educational Advisory Committee. Weitzenkamp

Nebraska.

as it allows educational institutions equal voice in the accounting standards set
forth by the NBPA.”

our communities.”
