Nominated by Joyce Gordon |
David Pittman, the Senior Director of Student Engagement, University Center Activities and Events, is the go-to problem solver, program planner, student advisor, instructional partner, strategic thinker, and mentor for so many on campus. Due to the nature of his work, he’s often “behind the scenes,” making sure that programs and activities large and small (from The Blue Devil Return to the Clark Scholars to every student group’s activity through DukeGroups) run smoothly and have a positive educational, identity-based, and/or social impact for students. Further, no matter how busy he is, David takes the time to truly listen and attend to students and colleagues. In a time when so much of our attention is fractured by insurmountable to-do lists and requests, David’s ability to focus on the person in front of him (or on the phone/Zoom with him) is remarkable. He leads with kindness, authenticity, and care for every person. David makes a difference for Duke students and for Duke every day!
