Dietrich Presented ECC Accounting Award

East Central College graduate Amber Dietrich is the recipient of the Doyle Stricklin Award for Outstanding Performance in Accounting.

Dietrich graduated in December 2020 with an Associate of Applied Science Degree in Accounting.

The Stricklin Award is given annually by ECC’s Accounting Program. Dietrich was presented the award by Lisa Hanneken, accounting/business instructor.

“In reviewing her academic performance, as well as all her other accomplishments here at ECC, it is obvious Amber is truly deserving of this award,” Hanneken said.

In addition to being an enthusiastic and inspiring participant in the classroom, Hanneken said, Dietrich was president of ECC’s Phi Theta Kappa Chi Delta Chapter Honor Society and recipient of the honor society’s Distinguished Chapter Member Award.

She also was an ECC student ambassador who volunteered for numerous events such as ECC Beautification Days, Adopt-A-Highway cleanups, All Abilities events, and the Relay for Life fundraiser.

“Congratulations Amber, we look forward to seeing the great things you will do with your degree,” Hanneken said.
