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!
Virtual Wildcat Welcomes
Parents, families, mentors, guardians and supporters are invited to join us for a virtual gathering to connect with an Alumni and Family Engagement Team member, as well as current and incoming parents. Current parents will discuss their families’ Davidson experience and answer questions from incoming families.
Please note that the Aug. 5 event is geared towards families who have a first-generation college student. Otherwise, the planned program will be the same each date, so you may select the date that works best for your schedule.

Summer Send-Offs
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.
Location and dates for the 2025 Summer Send-Offs will be confirmed in early June. Please check back soon!
The Office of Alumni and Family Engagement welcomes requests for reasonable accommodations related to disability and will strive to make this program accessible to participants. Please contact us at families@davidson.edu to make such a request.
