Anthony Welsch

Assistant Professor of Accounting

The University of Chicago Booth School of Business

I am an Assistant Professor of Accounting at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business . I aim to produce research with practical implications that can assist policymakers, governmental agencies, managers , and other researchers. My research pri marily focuses on multistate taxation, with an emphasis on examining fiscal outcomes, taxpayer decision-making, and firms’ investment behavior. I am also interested in the intersection between taxes and ESG, as well as government accounting and finance. I have used both archival and field experimentation methods.  

I earned my PhD in Accounting from the University of Texas at Austin, as well as a B.S. in Business and Master of Accountancy from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. I also worked professionally as a CPA for six years performing state & local tax compliance and consulting services, mostly at EY in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Beyond academia and tax research, my interests include fitness, music , podcasts, traveling, sports, pickleball , spending time outdoors, and reluctantly providing free tax advice to friends and family . Prior to joining the PhD program, I completed a 200-hour yoga teacher training course in Charlotte, NC , and a 50-hour Budokon Yoga teacher training course in London, UK.

Nancy Tuchman

Dean, School of Environmental Sustainability

Loyola University Chicago

Scope of work: As founding dean of Loyola's School of Environmental Sustainability, Nancy Tuchman has provided vision and leadership since its inception as an institute in fall 2013. The school includes a biodiesel lab and an urban agriculture program, both student-run.

Biggest professional win: In 2020, the Institute of Environmental Sustainability was promoted to Loyola's 13th school, becoming the School of Environmental Sustainability. The school has grown to offer eight undergraduate degree programs, a Master's in Environmental Science and Sustainability and three graduate certificate programs, and serves over 500 students.

Other contributions: Tuchman's awards include the Society for Freshwater Science Fellows Award and the Leadership in Science & Education Award from the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum.

Loyola University Chicago dean prepares next generation of green leaders

SPONSORED CONTENT

  Over the last two decades, aquatic ecologist Nancy C. Tuchman, PhD , has spearheaded the vision for sustainability at Loyola University Chicago. Since founding and directing the Center for Urban Environmental Research and Policy in 2005 and the Institute of Environmental Sustainability in 2013, Tuchman has led Loyola’s transformation to become one of the greenest colleges in the nation — shrinking the university’s environmental impact and preparing the next generation of eco-conscious leaders.

  How did your sustainability efforts at Loyola begin, and how has the work progressed?

 As someone who works in conservation, I was concerned about the university’s environmental footprint. So, in the early 2000s, I raised this issue with Loyola’s president. In 2004, the university’s capital improvement plan included a pledge to make our campuses more environmentally sustainable.

 Since then, we’ve cut our water use per square foot by 34%, and we now divert 44% of campus waste from landfills through recycling or composting. Perhaps most importantly, we’ve reduced greenhouse gas emissions from the Lake Shore Campus by nearly 80% and will be carbon neutral by 2025.

How did the School of Environmental Sustainability get started at Loyola?

 We continued to build momentum with our environmental initiatives. In 2013, Loyola established the Institute of Environmental Sustainability (IES) and began to offer undergraduate degree programs. By 2019, IES had around 400 students and a graduate program. In 2020, the university expanded IES to launch the School of Environmental Sustainability.

 Our focus on sustainability differentiates Loyola from our peer universities. When we surveyed incoming students this year, 57% said that commitment to the environment was important in their college decision.

How has SES grown and developed?

We now have more than 500 students, including over 60 graduate students, and undergraduates can choose from seven majors. To support this growth, we’ve nearly tripled our faculty and staff and continue building an interdisciplinary team of outstanding educators and researchers.

Our Urban Agriculture Program is one example of our impact and the engaged learning opportunities we offer. The program gives students hands-on experience with sustainable food production. Since the program started 10 years ago, students have produced more than 20,000 pounds of healthy, sustainably grown food that they donate and sell locally.

How does your work align with business trends in the corporate world?

We’re seeing growing interest in sustainability among corporate leaders and consumers. At SES, we’re equipping students with the expertise to adapt business practices for environmental sustainability.

Last year, we launched a new bachelor’s degree program in environmental economics and sustainability. This program connects environmental problems to business theories and economic analysis, preparing students to become leaders in the new green economy.

What is your vision for the future of sustainability at Loyola?

We’re currently working on our next Carbon Action Plan and intend to go beyond carbon neutrality. We aim to completely decarbonize our campuses, which means eliminating our dependence on fossil fuels and investing in new technologies. We’re already installing new geothermal systems and investigating cutting-edge heat exchange systems.

Another goal is to make Loyola a zero-waste campus. Our athletic events are already zero-waste, and we look forward to expanding on what we’ve learned to reduce and divert waste from all campus operations.
