Caitlin Reilly Assistant Director of Davidson Outdoors

My involvement with Davidson Outdoors had a profound impact on my experience as a student here at Davidson. After graduating with a B.S. in environmental studies, I worked in outdoor and environmental education for several organizations including the Carolina Thread Trail and the School for Field Studies. I earned my M.S. from NC State University where I conducted research on environmental and agricultural education and worked in the Outdoor Adventures program.

I am excited to be back at Davidson and have the opportunity to reconnect with a community and an organization that has been so important in my life. In my role with Davidson Outdoors, I work to provide resources and opportunities for students to grow and be empowered as leaders and active members of their community, both at Davidson and beyond.

I am passionate about the power of outdoor education to foster connection and spark conversation in ways that ultimately lead to a more just and equitable world.

When I’m not working, you can usually find me out on a run, reading in my hammock, or waxing poetic about my tomato plants.
