Also be sure to join the Class of 1997 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. 

Send Us Your Photos 

Be sure to look through your files and send us both old and current photos. Photos may be used for a slideshow or for Reunion promotion on social media. Submit your photos by uploading them to this Google Drive folder. A Google account is not required. Make sure to label them with the name you used while at Davidson. Photos will be moved to a secure location on the Davidson server and shared with the Reunion volunteers.

The Class of 1997 has set an overall reunion class gift goal of $175,000 and a class giving participation goal of 55 percent. We hope as many classmates as possible take part in helping achieve these goals in honor of our special 25th reunion year.

When achieved, each of the concurrent 25X25X25 Challenge goals will unlock $25,000.

  • Challenge #1: Participation Gifts – 75 or more annual fund gifts of any size unlocks the first $25,000.
  • Challenge #2: 25 five-year pledges totaling over $500 unlocks $25,000 more.
  • Challenge #3: 10 Ne Ultra Society gifts of $2,500 ore more unlocks a final $25,000!
