Diane Litynski teaches in the Entrepreneurship program. She is starting her tenth year at Paul Smith’s college, and her 24th year of academia since receiving her PhD in 1992. She realized many years ago that higher education is one of the toughest, challenging, changing, hectic careers to have, that ironically leaves her peace-filled, happy and in harmony with life.
