Davis Awards
Throughout its history, RIT’s leaders have shown a strong commitment to both the university and the community.
In 2003, RIT Vice President Emeritus Alfred L. Davis established an endowment and award to commemorate the dedication of the four RIT Presidents (Mark Ellingson, Paul Miller, M. Richard Rose, and Albert Simone) with whom he worked. In 2005 he established a companion student award to commemorate the outstanding service of RIT trustee Bruce R. James.
Alfred L. Davis had an extraordinary impact on RIT. For 70 years, Mr. Davis was engaged in the life of the university, serving as advisor to four RIT presidents, as a faculty member, a mentor, and a role model to both students and staff members. He was a dedicated and committed volunteer and benefactor who, as a retiree, contributed in numerous ways to making RIT the best it could be. Through these efforts, he developed an appreciation for the selfless generosity of RIT’s benefactors and their profound impact on the students and the greater community.
