Reunion Chair Spotlight
I am serving as a reunion chair because I care about keeping the class of 2016 connected. I want to help strengthen our Davidson community, bring people together, and help create a meaningful experience for my classmates. I am excited for l reunion weekend as we did not have a traditional 5th year reunion. There are so many people that I cannot wait to see at the 10th reunion. Go ‘Cats!
Bates Taylor
2026 Reunion Co-Chair
Even ten years (gasp!) after graduating, I'm grateful every day for the lessons, experiences, and people that Davidson brought into my life. I'm excited to reconnect with my classmates this year as a Reunion Chair and bring us all together in support of the College and the 'Cats still to come.
Savannah Haeger
2026 Reunion Co-Chair
I'm so grateful to serve as Chair for our 10th Reunion because I've seen time and again the magic that happens when we bring the Davidson community together. Bringing our class back to celebrate how far we've come feels especially meaningful after so many years apart.
