Who:
Elizabeth Bullock
Academic Advisor 3

Years of UH Service:
9 Years

Department:
Bauer College of Business
Accountancy & Taxation

How to Contact Me:
ebullock@uh.edu or 3.5936

Where to Find Me:
275 Melcher Hall 

When to Call Me:
I am the graduate advisor for the Masters of Science in Accountancy Program. I also manage the Accountancy & Taxation Professional Program.

Helpful Hint:
Because we’re in a profession that does a lot of interacting, giving, and supporting, advisors need to be reenergized. We need to look for those things for ourselves, so that we can keep doing what we need to do. I recommend joining an advising organization such as NACADA and networking with colleagues within the advising community as sources of support. We should also care for ourselves and take time off.

What I Like Best About My Job:
I enjoy being able to assist people with achieving their educational and professional dreams.

What Elizabeth’s Colleagues Say:
Troy Hopkins says “Elizabeth is the advisor for the Masters in Accounting Program which is a fast paced master’s program with very demanding students. She does a great job of helping her students and also coordinates the daily operations of the Professional Accounting Programs office. She is a great asset to the department and the Bauer College of Business and should be recognized.”
