Summer Advising

Rebecca Barrow

Welcome! I am the assistant registrar for advising and curricular support, my day-to-day is centered on the academic needs of Davidson students. I have been at Davidson for seven years and have worked for a few of the academic departments before joining the Registrar’s Office. I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago, and attended a small liberal arts college in the Midwest that is similar in size and values to Davidson. We chose the same type of education and I am excited to be a resource for you as you navigate college life.

I am also the proud parent of a recent college grad. I have been teaching at Davidson for about 21 years and teach both introductory and advanced physics classes. During my time at Davidson, I have served as a holistic advisor to students who have majored in almost every field we offer.

Angie Dewberry

I am the registrar at Davidson College and also a member of the Class of 2000. As a holistic adviser, I enjoy working closely with students as they adjust to life at college. As a former Davidson athlete (soccer!), I can relate to the balancing act of being a student-athlete and I still enjoy attending athletic events today with my family. I grew up in California, but have now lived in the South longer than anywhere else. I am an avid reader, enjoy taking my dog on hikes, and look forward to the day that Carolina Cones opens for the ice cream season. Please do not be too shy to ask your questions. We are all here to help.

I have served as an adviser for pre-major students at Davidson since 2012.

In college I was a Spanish major with minors in Religion and Latin American Studies. I’m from Wisconsin but happily ditched my snow shovel when I moved to North Carolina. Outside of work I enjoy attending lectures, concerts, and theatre performances.

I am the associate registrar and have been at Davidson since 2014. I am originally from Long Island, but I have lived in Florida, South Carolina, and Virginia before moving to North Carolina. I’ve been serving as a holistic adviser since the program started, but I’ve been an academic adviser for over ten years. My work prior to Davidson centered around helping students make the transition from high school to college, and I am glad I am able to continue that work here. When the weather is warm you will find me with friends, a book or podcast on my boat on Lake Norman. I enjoy watching professional tennis and women’s collegiate volleyball (both Davidson and the Big 10).

Hi! I work in the Matthews Center for Career Development, mainly with students interested in pursuing careers in business/finance.
