The Roanne Kulakoff '81 Award

Veda Talanki, recipient

“Last year,” recalls Veda Talanki of East Setauket, N.Y., “I had to work. I was working
hard and doing well in school.” This year, with help from the Roanne Kulakoff ’81 Award, she’ll
“be able to work less and concentrate more on my studies in accounting and information technology management.” Talanki, a Dean’s List student and a member of the Class of 2014, plans to detect, investigate and prevent fraud through a position with the FBI or in the forensic accounting field. The Kulakoff Award is presented to a School of Business junior who has funded him/herself throughout college while maintaining high academic standards, contributing to the community and demonstrating exemplary leadership skills.
