Class of 1970
Reunion 2020 Update
Due to ongoing COVID-19 concerns, Reunion 2020 was celebrated virtually. Throughout the fall, several programs that typically highlight Reunion Weekend on campus were offered online.
Virtual Class Gathering
The Great Class of 1970 held a virtual class gathering on November 19. Classmates are encouraged to enjoy the recording.
Connect with Classmates

Sign into the system to build relationships with classmates others who share your same identities or areas of interest and connect with fellow students and alumni in your industry.
Quips & Cranks
Relive our college memories and put names with faces by reviewing the Quips and Cranks from our time at Davidson through the Davidson College online library archives.
As a part of our 50th Reunion celebration, a Class of 1970 Quips and Cranks Yearbook: 50th Anniversary Edition has been published. Access the special edition of Quips and Cranks online using the password "Davidson_C70". Contact reunion@davidson.edu for any issues accessing the booklet.
Hard copies of the booklets will be mailed to members of The Great Class of 1970 early in 2021.
Please also enjoy the Class of 1969 Quips and Cranks: 50th Anniversary Edition.
Class Blog
Jim Winship and Jim Long created a private space (designated as private for safety reasons) for classmates to catch up, share memories and tell stories. Classmates are encouraged to come back often to see what new information has been offered and/or share their own stories!
