Culture Shift
Peer-voted awards like the OnCon Icon Technology Team Award reflect a broader pattern in which universities increasingly seek external, peer-driven recognition for internal support teams. This places campus IT work alongside other professional honors that signal reputation within a sector.
For Charleston residents and students, the ranking signals that campus technology services are gaining external recognition. The award does not change how students or staff access IT services in the near term.
