“Working with the UAs has really been rewarding for me,” Davis said. “They are a group with a very strong dynamic and a real love for their job.”
He recalled a recent UA staff party when student supervisors sang songs they wrote in honor of the UA staff.
“A Harvard staff member walked into the room by accident, looked bewildered and then walked right out,” said Davis. “I think this incident represents the kind of crazy group the UAs are. They are a remarkable group of students that doesn’t want to quit until the job is finished, and I have found this energy really enjoyable.”
The UAs who work under Davis have equally appreciated his friendship and advice.
“Kevin would often take time to just sit down and talk with me about my courses, he was just as much of an adviser to me as anyone else at the University,” said Robert D. Winikates ’08. “He had a really great touch with us as students because he himself went to Harvard. I don’t think his equal will be found again anytime soon.”
