Following his work at Cornell, Sheppard served as the founding Executive Director of the Institute of Chartered Financial Analysts in the late 1960s. The C. Stewart Sheppard Award is given by the CFA Institute in recognition of outstanding contribution to continuing education in the CFA profession.
After serving at the CFA Institute, Sheppard taught at the University of Virginia’s Darden School of Business Administration. The C.

(The Dean and his spouse also donated two Nyssa sylvatic (sourgum) for beautification of the Virginia grounds.)
Sheppard moved to the United States in 1939. During the Second World War, he served as a First Lieutenant in the United States Army. In 1989, Dean Sheppard retired to Williamsburg, Virginia.[2]
He took his M.B.A. at New York University, and his Ph.D. at Columbia University following the Second World War.
