The 36-year-old rising star professor teaches an intro financial accounting course and describes teaching as “incredibly rewarding and great fun.” Legend has it that on the last day of class, she received an extended, desk-banging round of applause from students; a testament to her being chosen for Stanford’s Distinguished Teaching Award. Professor Beyer is the fourth woman in Stanford GSB’s history to win the annual teaching prize. One month prior, she was awarded tenure.
