ALEX MANUEL
Accounting, B.S. | Senior Manager, Rivers &
Moorehead PLLC, and Owner, GWIN Wine and Beer |
Phoenix
An Inspiration to Eller Students: I think anyone you talk to
would bring up Katie Maxwell, senior lecturer and director of the
undergraduate accounting program.
Real-World Stakes: As part of student government, I was the
executive director of Spring Fling, and I negotiated our contracts
with the carnival company. It was a huge professional development
opportunity.
Learning Philanthropy: Student government gave me a fundraising
mentality that has stayed with me. I sit on the board for Support My
Club, a nonprofit that helps high school students raise money for clubs
and teams.
Lasting Appreciation: My wife, Alexandra Manuel ’08 ’09, and I
donate as much as we’re able. Eller prepared us very well for the CPA
exams and the rigors of the working world.
A Beautiful Campus: I didn’t always appreciate it when I was a
student running around, so I always make sure to hang out at Old
Main and take a look at campus when we visit.
