Engagement between faculty and the Office of Alumni and Family Engagement brings numerous benefits, enriching the connections between Davidson College’s academic community and its alumni and families. 

Alumni and families frequently express a strong desire to connect with the current student experience and maintain relationships with Davidson’s renowned faculty. Alumni seek opportunities to continue learning from and collaborating with professors who impacted their academic journeys, while parents appreciate insights into the educational environment shaping their students.

For faculty, engaging with alumni and families fosters meaningful dialogue and provides opportunities to invite alumni experts when appropriate and contributes to strengthening Davidson's extended community. As the database of records for alumni and family information, the Office of Alumni and Family Engagement works to maintain accurate data, allowing the College to provide helpful, up-to-date information for faculty and other campus partners. These intentional interactions and personal connections often inspire increased philanthropic support, benefiting Davidson’s academic programs and overall mission.

This site outlines the opportunities and resources available for faculty to build connections with the broader Davidson community, alongside the mutual benefits that faculty and the Office of Alumni and Family Engagement can achieve together.
