Nancy Mangold joined the faculty at CSU East Bay in 1984 after receiving her PhD in accounting from the University of California, Berkeley. During her almost 30-year tenure, she has taught 16 different undergraduate, graduate, and executive level accounting courses.

In recent years Mangold received two best paper awards and her work is published in top accounting journals. In 2001, she was appointed by the World Bank as a special consultant to the People’s Bank of China to study the establishment of a deposit insurance system in China. Mangold was appointed by the World Bank again in 2005 as an expert to advise China’s Ministry of Finance on U.S. accounting standards on derivatives and hedging. In 2009, she was selected from all U.S. universities by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to be the 2009-2010 SEC Academic Fellow to the Office of the Chief Accountant.

The George and Miriam Phillips Outstanding Professor Award is CSU East Bay’s most prestigious faculty honor.
