If you want pragmatism, you'll find it in Dr. Cherie Hennig, professor of accounting and the new faculty director for the Executive Master of Science in Taxation (EMST) program in the School of Accounting. That's because she wants to prepare students for the CPA exam and for their careers. Another aspect of her focus on practical matters: she wants to see that students get comfortable with online multiple choice questions, which is what they'll encounter in the tax section of the CPA exam. It's a task she's well suited for. First, she's a reviewer for CPA exam questions, helping determine which questions submitted by practitioners should be developed. Second, she has expertise in online learning and testing. Hennig also is highly engaged in research, with more than 100 publications in taxation to her credit, and she plans to undertake joint research projects with Ph.D. students as well as to teach a doctoral seminar on tax research.
Ken H. Johnson moves from teaching clients to teaching students.
Dr. Ken H. Johnson practiced real estate until the fall of 1995, when he realized he was teaching real estate one-on-one daily. To refine those teaching skills, he turned to an MBA, and later, a Ph.D. program. Today, as assistant professor of real estate/finance in the College of Business Administration, he does the opposite by bringing his professional experiences into teaching. Johnson will teach real estate courses to undergraduate and graduate students, and will develop international real estate courses—an important focus for the College—at both levels. In addition, he will continue to do research, using the scientific method to explore questions about subjects important in real estate—from what to do about mold to whether warranties speed property sales. These articles have been finding a home in both practitioner and theoretical journals. Regardless of the topic at hand—and whether his forum is business or the classroom—Johnson has an overriding goal: to improve the way real estate is practiced locally and nationally.
