Connect with Classmates
If you are on Facebook, join the Davidson College Class of 1978 group to communicate with classmates as we gear up for the celebration.
Also be sure to join the Class of 1978 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 and Videos
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 by May 3.
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.
Videos
For those of you who are unable to attend our 45th we would like to encourage classmates to create a very short video (30-60 seconds) in which one or all of the following are conveyed:
- Greetings to classmates
- Reason you are unable to attend (e.g. you are in the Federal Witness Protection Program)
- Quick update on your life status
Once you have made the video upload it to this Google Folder by May 22.
Class Gift
The Class of 1978 has set an overall reunion class gift goal of $3,000,000 and a class giving participation goal of 58 percent. We hope as many classmates as possible take part in helping achieve these goals in honor of our special 45th reunion year. The Class of 1978 Reunion Committee encourages you to include The Class of 1978 Endowed Scholarship amongst your selections. Together, we can continue to make an impact and provide the opportunity for students, regardless of financial background, to attend Davidson.
All gifts and multi-year commitments made during the reunion year, which ends on June 30, 2023, count towards the class gift.
