For Wyckoff — a non-traditional, first-generation
student — the fellowship took on extra significance, as he
strives to set an example for his 3-year-old daughter.
"The impact is bigger than just me," he says of the award.
"It's about the future of my family, which is the most import-
ant thing. Rosanne's family provided my family the stepping
stone we needed, and I'll be forever appreciative of that."
By providing them with financial assistance and a
lifelong network, the fellowship helped to set Kriner and
Wyckoff up for career success. Kriner recently passed her
CPA exam and serves as a staff accountant at Brock, Schechter
& Polakoff LLP in Buffalo. Wyckoff, meanwhile, will join PwC
aer commencement and hopes to earn his CPA and Certified
Internal Auditor credentials soon. Long term, both hope to
return to the School of Management to teach someday.
Going forward, the school's Accounting and Law
Department plans to host events periodically so the fellows
can connect with one another and keep in touch with the
Stolzenburg family.
"We have our own exclusive club — something that
brings us together as a group with the same core principles,"
Wyckoff says. "Keith's memory lives on through us."

Keith was always trying to be someone
you can lean on, an all-around good guy,
Now, Katie and I are trying to live through
that model to be all-around good people
and help people where we can.
