Karie Davis-Nozemack serves as interim provost and executive vice president for Academic Affairs.
Prior to stepping in as interim Provost, Davis-Nozemack served as associate provost and executive chief of staff for the Office of the Provost. In this role, she supported the Provost in academic administration, policy and planning, operations, special projects, and strategic plan initiatives for the academic enterprise at Georgia Tech. Davis-Nozemack lead teams of finance, HR, and operations staff and interfaces with external and internal stakeholders such as the University System of Georgia and the Institute’s faculty governance. She provided decision support, thought partnership, and communications guidance for issues impacting faculty and academics.
Before joining the Provost’s Office, she served as interim associate dean of Academic Programs for the Scheller College of Business where she led the College’s undergraduate, MBA, Executive MBA, and other interdisciplinary programs. Davis-Nozemack also served the Institute’s faculty as chair of the Faculty Executive Board for two and a half years.
Davis-Nozemack is a tenured faculty member in the Scheller College of Business where she taught courses in law, business ethics, and taxation. She has received numerous teaching awards and recognitions, including the Brady Family Award for Teaching Excellence, Center for Teaching and Learning Curriculum Innovation Award, and Graduate Student Government Association’s Faculty of the Year. She is also a two-time Scheller Professor of the Year honoree and a many-time Course Survey Teaching Effectiveness Award winner. Davis-Nozemack co-developed a software application to facilitate writing assignments in large courses. Her research focuses on legal and ethical mechanisms for constraining opportunistic managerial behavior, including tax whistleblowers, tax compliance strategies, and fiduciary duty.
Davis-Nozemack earned a B.A. from Emory University, M.Tx from Georgia State University, and J.D. from Washington & Lee University.
