Davis is recognized for his impressive contributions as assistant director of campus technology, as well as his role as solutions architect.
Joe Davis, a dedicated employee who wears many hats in the Client Services Department, has been honored with an Acorn Accolade.
An Elon employee for 19 years, Davis drives progress in the realm of campus technology and spearheads the adoption of emerging technology in academic facilities.
According to supervisors and coworkers, however, Davis’s Acorn Accolade is deserved for more than efficient management of a hefty workload.
“Joe is a team player. He shares information freely and reaches out to notify others of impact to their work,” says supervisor Pat Donohue. “[His] good sense of humor and openness to candid conversation lead to stable and long-lasting professional relationships. Joe is a great coach and mentor to others.”
Davis has been known to seek areas for improvement. According to Donohue, he consistently seeks ways to advance department performance, as well as opportunities to better the services offered to campus.
One colleague notes, “Joe successfully manages and negotiates expectations of faculty/staff while working with management on priorities for what is necessary for operations.”
Davis communicates about outcomes that he delivers, and this remains essential to the department as well as in building partnerships with other teams on campus.
The Acorn Accolade is awarded each month to an exceptional member of Elon’s Instructional and Campus Technologies team. The individual must be nominated by his or her department head to the Assistant Vice President of Technology.
