Davidson Alumni, You Met the Challenge.
Thank You Alumni!

Ten years. Sixty percent participation. One million dollars.

By helping us achieve 60 percent alumni participation for the tenth straight year, four former and current trustees will contribute an additional $1 million to Davidson this year.

A record-breaking 64.32 percent of alumni supported Davidson in 2011-2012, contributing an astounding $14,323,716 to the Annual Fund for the college's most important priorities.

Your support means millions!




One of Three Nationally

Davidson Graduates

In 2011, Davidson was one of only three colleges and universities in the nation to attain more than 60 percent alumni participation. Having achieved this benchmark for the past ten years in a row is an unprecedented accomplishment.

Your Gift Matters

Why I Support Davidson


I contribute to the Annual Fund to support the people who make Davidson exceptional and to affirm my belief in the ability of a liberal arts education to inspire a lifelong love of learning.–Cary Wright ’09

If I have the chance to provide future students with the same opportunities that I have had these four years, whether that be in the classroom, in my eating house, through study abroad, or elsewhere, why would I not? The Davidson experience is a treasure worth sharing.–Caroline Dallas ’12

I support Davidson College because of what it is, what it has been and what it will be. It is in a class by itself.–Bill Vinson ’48

The memories, the friendships, the academic experience, the love that I have for those four years and the way they shaped my life, an appreciation and awe of Davidson College.... Those are the reasons I give back to Davidson.–Anne Keith Lupo ’83

Davidson affects, in a positive way, the lives of its students, the community we live in, and in a way, the world. This special place is a testament to those who have answered a higher calling by giving so generously – the firm resolve that we can make a difference.–Derry Harper ’76
