K E Y N OT E S P E A K E R Karen Davis Karen Davis is assistant dean for inclusive excellence in the College of Engineering and Computer Science (ECS) at Syracuse University. Born and raised in the Bronx, Davis earned a bachelor’s degree in communications and rhetorical studies from Syracuse University in 1983. She went on to earn an MBA from the Whitman School of Management in 1990. Davis began her career as an administrator at Syracuse University. In 1989, she moved to industry, joining UTC Carrier Corporation as a business analyst. In her 15-year career at Carrier, Karen held various roles in human resources, including equal employment opportunity, affirmative action, diversity and recruiting. Her passion for student support and excellence inspired Davis to return to campus in 2004. As a member of the ECS leadership team, Davis served for 14 years as director of career services, and for the last two years as assistant dean for inclusive excellence. Among her contributions demonstrating strategic leadership expertise, Davis introduced VMock, an analytical resume building platform, which was later adopted and applied for campuswide use by central career services. In her current role as assistant dean for inclusive excellence, Davis is leading a collegewide effort to enhance the culture of diversity, inclusion and equity in the ECS community. A key element is the Leadership Dialogue Circle, which Davis helped to create and implement. After two years of highly successful engagement in ECS, the blueprint for the Leadership Dialogue Circle was adopted and expanded across Syracuse University’s schools and colleges. Under Davis’s leadership, ECS was recently recognized among its peer institutions with bronze medal distinction in the 2021 American Society of Engineering Education Diversity Recognition program. Adding further sparkle to her administrative leadership, Davis is known, respected and widely admired for her outgoing positive spirit and willingness to go above and beyond for students. She is considered an “influencer” based on her sincere mission of utilizing resources to inspire the advancement of others.
