Dan Heitger, associate professor of accountancy at Miami University's Farmer School of Business, has been named one of Yale University's inaugural "Rising Stars of Corporate Governance."
Heitger is one of 56 professionals under the age of 40 recognized by the Yale School of Management's Millstein Center for Corporate Governance and Performance at a reception June 9. "Rising Stars" were selected on the basis of past accomplishments, leadership, reputation and potential to influence the industry in the future.

Heitger is the only honoree from academia. Other honorees are from professional firms, research institutes, pension funds and agencies from around the globe.
He has been a member of Miami's faculty since 2004. In 2006 with colleague Brian Ballou, Heitger co-founded the Center for Governance, Risk Management and Reporting, now the Center for Business Excellence in the Farmer School.
"Dan's teaching, research, and professional endeavors with regard to the center have made him a very valuable member of our faculty and have given him national exposure in the profession," said Marc A. Rubin, chair of accountancy. "We are very pleased that he has been honored by the Yale School of Management."
"This is the first year we are recognizing the next generation of corporate governance leaders," said Ira M. Millstein, senior associate dean for corporate governance at the Yale School of Management. "Every one of this year's 56 recipients is a Rising Star in his or her own right. I'm honored to be able to recognize them in this way."
The Millstein Center is a global resource for testing, challenging and advancing the idea that corporations should and can serve society.
