The Kensinger-Imes Accounting Award honors two outstanding former Northwest Professors - Clifford Kensinger and Mrs. Johnie Imes.

Kensinger served on the accounting faculty for 20 years and was prominent in his field. He was instrumental in helping many students obtain excellent employment positions and achieve career goals.

In December of 1980, Mrs. Imes retired as chairperson of the Department of Finance. She achieved excellent rapport with her students and was dedicated to them and to the university during her ten-year tenure at Northwest.

Both of these individuals made many contributions to the College and Northwest. Preparing countless students for success in the work world gained both Kensinger and Imes the respect, gratitude, and goodwill of students, colleagues, and friends.
