Iona University associate professor of accounting Marie Elaine Gioiosa, Ph.D., CPA recently received the 2023 Dr. Emanuel Saxe Outstanding CPA in Education Award from the New York State Society of Certified Public Accountants (NYSSCPA).

This award pays tribute to the outstanding contribution by CPAs who have dedicated their life’s work to accounting education, recognizing excellence in teaching and a contribution to and promotion of the accounting profession.

Gioiosa teaches a range of courses in the LaPenta School of Business Accounting Department. Students and colleagues say her passion for education leaves students inspired and ready for the real world.

“In my classroom, I do a lot of active learning, which incorporates real-life situations. I am going to make sure that my students get actively involved. It promotes soft skills that students are expected to have when they graduate,” Gioiosa said. “I love what I do.”
