Please join us Thursday, April 2 at 10am for Sean O'Donnell's dissertation sharing session on the motivations and career outcomes of professionals who pursue a Doctorate in Business Administration (DBA).
In this session, O'Donnell will explore why mid-to-late career professionals pursue the DBA, how the degree bridges the gap between practice and academia, and how it complements the traditional PhD in business schools. The talk draws from his newly completed dissertation study and his extensive background in corporate leadership, including his work as a Regional VP at Charter/Spectrum overseeing 2.25M+ customer relationships across four states.
O'Donnell is currently a DBA candidate at UF's Warrington College of Business and brings real-world experience as a former EY consultant, Bresnan SVP, and civic leader.
This presentation is part of the 2026 RUE speaker series. Faculty, staff, and students are all welcome and encouraged to attend! We will take attendance for students who receive extra credit for coming.
