Under her excellent leadership I learned a lot about how to do the day-to-day work on a programming team. She helped me understand how technology solves business problems and she was constantly looking for ways to innovate and add value to the college. Other community colleges from around the country were calling to ask what our secret was for such a feature-rich and professional web site -- created entirely through the internship program. Not only was she effective and encouraging, but Joyce was a lot of fun to work with.", and "My internship at the Seattle Community Colleges web team has been a dream, and I owe it all to Joyce. From day one she gave me major responsibilities and tasks with actual importance, and allowed me the opportunity to make recommendations that had lasting impact. She facilitates such a positive environment to both work and learn in, and is very supportive. Most importantly, she knows how to get the most out of everyone she manages, and is very adept at navigating the fine line between friend and manager/colleague. I have nothing but good things to say about the experience at the web team that she facilitated, but also about her as both manager and friend."
