Alumni and Families

Established in 2021, Davidson Asian South Asian Pacific Islander Alumni Network (DASAPIAN) exists to advocate for and support Asian, South Asian and Pacific Islander (ASAPI) students and alumni.

DASAPIAN seeks to inspire and engage Davidson's ASAPI students and alumni academically, socially, and professionally and create meaningful, lasting connections between alumni, students and the Davidson College community.

Spotlight on Programming

In May, DASAPIAN celebrated the class of 2026 with it's annual DASAPIAN Senior Celebration. This celebration proudly honors the achievements and diverse identities of Davidson students while celebrating the communities that have shaped their journeys. This gathering serves as a bridge connecting graduating seniors with the dynamic Davidson alumni community and warmly welcoming them into DASAPIAN. During the ceremony, each graduating senior is presented with a special stole by a member of the alumni community.
