Class of 1973
It’s time to start thinking about our 50th reunion!
Mark your calendars for June 2-4, 2023, and make your travel plans now. Bookmark this page and visit often to find updated information on registration, schedules and more. Below are some of the celebration plans already underway by the reunion committee.
Connect with Classmates
If you are on Facebook, join the Davidson College Class of 1973 group to communicate with classmates as we gear up for the celebration.
Also be sure to join the Class of 1973 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 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.
Class Gift
The Class of 1973 has set an overall reunion class gift goal of $3,500,000 and a class giving participation goal of 70 percent. We hope as many classmates as possible take part in helping achieve these goals in honor of our special 50th reunion year.
All gifts and multi-year commitments made during the reunion year, which ends on June 30, 2023, count towards the class gift.
Quips & Cranks
As part of our 50th Reunion celebration, a Class of 1973 Quips and Cranks Yearbook: 50th Anniversary Edition will be published. In December an email was sent from Meno Publishing asking classmates to complete a questionnaire regarding personal information to be included on their page in the booklet. All classmates, regardless if they are able to attend Reunion 2023, are encouraged to submit their online questionnaire by the EXTENDED DEADLINE OF MARCH 20 and upload as many as three personal pictures all for inclusion in the booklet. The email from Meno Publishing was set to each classmate with a personal "sign in" link and classmates are asked not to share that link. If classmates did not receive the email please check the "junk/spam" mailbox and/or contact reunion@davidson.edu to request the link is re-sent. Additionally, if a classmate feels for any reason Davidson does not have an up-to-date email address, please also contact reunion@davidson.edu to be added to the system.
The online version will be published for all to see prior to the June celebration. Hard copies will be distributed to those in attendance at Reunion Weekend and mailed after to those who can not join. Only information submitted by classmates will be included.
Many thanks to Gray Wilson '73 for taking the lead on this project.
To get an idea of what we have to look forward to, take time to enjoy the online 50th Anniversary Quips and Cranks Yearbooks for the last three classes:
Class of 1970 - Password “Davidson_C70”**
Class of 1971 - Password “DC_C1971”**
Class of 1972 – Password “Davidson_C72”**
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.
