Also be sure to join the Class of 1972 group in Davidson Connect, a networking portal launched in May 2020. This resource is designed to connect our community by bringing together multiple platforms into one hub where students and alumni around the world can connect. Sign into the system to find an alumni mentor, view jobs and internships, build relationships with others who share your same identities or areas of interest, and connect with fellow students and alumni in your industry.

Class Gift

The Class of 1972 has set an overall class gift goal of $4,000,000 and a class giving participation goal of 75 percent. We hope as many classmates as possible take part in helping achieve these goals in honor of our special 50th reunion year.
