’Cats Say Thanks

’Cats Say Thanks is Davidson College’s annual week of gratitude, which aims to thank donors, volunteers and Wildcats, while sharing the broad impact of philanthropy and engagement.

Alums, families and friends make a positive impact on every corner of campus by supporting scholarships, athletics, the arts, facilities and meaningful programs that create life-long memories and prepare students for lives of leadership and service. As part of ’Cats Say Thanks, we thank all donors, volunteers, mentors and partners for building the special community we love. Regardless of the way you share your support, your involvement is central to Davidson College’s success and future. Thank you.

Hear from Kamryn Walker ’24 about the many ways she has immersed herself in Davidson and how she is preparing for life after college. Donors impact every aspect of the student experience and make it possible for students like Kamryn to thrive. 

Kamryn is a Posse Scholar and is a recipient of the Pooled Cheerleading Scholarship. She also received the Heitz-Wagener Study Abroad Endowed Scholarship. Giving to scholarships is one of the many ways donors support Davidson students.
