Christopher Hunn and Antoine Davis win 2020/2021 Advising and Student Services Awards

The EECS Director of Undergraduate Student Instruction, Christopher Hunn, and the EECS Director of Undergraduate Affairs, Antoine Davis, have won 2020 and 2021 Advising and Student Services Awards.   These awards are presented by the UC Berkeley Council of Advising and Student Support to “recognize the positive and innovative impact our recipients have on student learning, engagement, and belonging on the Berkeley campus.”   Hunn won an Equity Champion Award for coaching TAs, undergraduates (especially CS Scholars and CS Mentors), graduates, staff (including student services personnel), and faculty “with evidence-based practices that have increased student engagement, success, self-efficacy, and belonging.”   Davis won an Outstanding Advising or Student Services Administrator, Director, or Manager Award for supporting  and strengthening his staff team and the EECS and CS undergraduate populations, particularly during the pandemic, with his unique blend of humor and calm positivity.  “His relaxed approach fosters an environment where we are able to engage in self-reflection and open-mindedness toward each other and our students.”  The winners will be celebrated at a virtual ceremony on December 15th.
