Summer Welcome Events
Welcome Wildcats!
Please join us for a Summer Send-Off and a Virtual Wildcat Welcome to meet fellow incoming Davidson parents, families and mentors.
Our Summer Welcome Events are a great opportunity to engage with your peers and grow your Davidson community as you start off your family's Davidson journey. We look forward to connecting with you!
Summer Send-Offs
As a member of the Davidson family, newly enrolled first-year and transfer students along with their families are invited to join other Wildcats to celebrate. Summer Send-Offs are informal gatherings in various regional areas, offering an opportunity for new students and their families to meet current Davidson students, alums, college representatives and other family members in a casual and relaxed setting. These events are a fantastic way to unite the Davidson community and allow students to start building their support networks.
