Reunion Chair Spotlight
I am honored to be serving as a Co-Chair for our 5th Reunion! Nothing beats reconnecting with fellow Wildcats, swapping favorite Davidson stories, and hearing about all of the incredible things that everyone has been up to since graduation. I can't wait to catch up with folks this June--hopefully, over a bowl of Scoopie!

2026 Reunion Co-Chair
I'm thrilled to serve alongside Anna and Anne as a Co-Chair for our 5th reunion! I'm excited to welcome our classmates back to Davidson in June, relive fun Davidson memories (hopefully with less work this time), and hear about everyone's adventures since graduation.

2026 Reunion Co-Chair
It is no question that the Davidson community is second to none. Think about the gracious alumni network we have, our roommates and hallmates turned best friends, and the faculty and staff that serve as mentors. Davidson is a special place, and reunion is the perfect way to re-connect with our class, visit our favorite spots on campus, and bask in the North Carolina sun. I am thrilled to serve as one of our reunion chairs and help plan a weekend filled with laughter, memories, and no COVID protocols.
