Lydia Storey

In my role, I co-advise Union Board (UB), our campus-wide programming organization that hosts more than 150 events each year, including Welcome Back party, Fall Fling, Winterfest, Spring Frolics, After Midnight, Live Thursdays, Weekly Trivia Night, & more.

Another large part of my role is helping to plan New Student and Family Orientation as well as transition programming such as Wildcat Welcome Week, and the First 45 Days experience. Through Orientation, I advise and support the Orientation Team leaders and mentors as they welcome incoming students to Davidson. 

Before joining Davidson in the summer of 2026, I earned my M.Ed. in College Student Personnel Administration from James Madison University (JMU) and my B.S. in Elementary Education from Longwood University. My experiences at Longwood and JMU shaped my passion for student leadership, cultivating a strong sense of belonging, and creating high-impact experiences that help students grow both personally and professionally. Whether it's a large campus tradition or a brand-new initiative, I love collaborating with students to bring ideas to life and create lasting memories. I am eager to continue this work at Davidson and in my role. 

When I’m not on campus, you can usually find me exploring a local coffee shop, watching a musical, or spending time with my cat. I’m excited to get to know our students, families, faculty, and staff, so if you see me around campus, please stop and say hello!
