Davidson-Davie nominates Barker for leadership award
Help us congratulate Joshua Barker as our nominee for the 2022 Governor Robert W. Scott Student Leadership Award!
In 2004, the North Carolina Association of Community College Presidents created the Governor Robert Scott Leadership Award as a way to (1) recognize student leadership on a statewide level while also (2) honoring former Governor Bob Scott. Governor Scott served as the State’s chief executive from 1968-1972 and then was president of our system for 12 years from 1983-1995. Governor Scott passed away in January of 2009, but he was very humbled that the system named a student award in his honor. This is an award designed to highlight outstanding curriculum student leadership and service.

As the Student Government Association president, Joshua advocates for student needs, makes sure the SGA shares resources on how to stay engaged and ensures student voices are heard. Whether it was Zoom meetings, phone calls or creating virtual events and activities, Joshua continued to do his job for the students and did not let COVID-19 disrupt the SGA mission of serving and advocating for every individual student.
In a statement on social media Davidson-Davie community college president Darrin Hartness wrote:
“Joshua is an excellent candidate for this award. He is providing unwavering leadership and has a bright future ahead. Proud of you Joshua!!”
