Christie Novak (DBA ’19) | November 2024

Novak (DBA 2019) recounted her journey from public accounting into academia in a new piece featured in The CPA Journal. Rather than taking the usual Ph.D., she took the sometimes overlooked path of a Doctorate in Business Administration (DBA). Her story shows that there is more than one way to answer the call to impact: CPAs who want to make a difference have more than one option available.

Novak is Assistant Teaching Professor, IMPRESS House Mentor at the Syracuse University Whitman School of Management.
