Whether you attended Davidson for a semester or eight, you are a wildcat and a valued member of our Alumni Association. As such, you have access to many alumni resources and benefits.
You can make the most of your alumni experience by ensuring that Davidson has your current contact information, including your mailing and email addresses. Without this information, we cannot send you important updates about campus news or alumni activities and events.
Whether you graduated one, five, 10, or 30 years ago, the Center for Career Development is available to support your career success. You have access to employment resources and can schedule an appointment to speak with a career adviser.
You can join our online community to find classmates and other Davidson alumni, update your address, manage your email preferences, and view your giving history and current event registrations.
The Davidson Career Advisor Network (DCAN) is a powerful online platform that facilitates career-related conversations among alumni, students, parents and business partners, as well as résumé critiques and mock interviews. As an alumnus or family member you may serve as an adviser and/or seek advice and support through this platform.
The college's LinkedIn group is a networking resource for alumni, students, parents, faculty, and staff. Members also can view and post job openings targeting Davidson alumni and students within the group.
The college offers a series of Virtual Networking Hours that facilitate text-based alumni/family-to-alumni/family networking and alumni/family-to-student mentoring. You can join events from anywhere using a computer, smartphone, or tablet, and no audio or video is required.
Davidson alumni who graduated in 2014 or after now receive alumni email accounts. Your account can be accessed by using the Outlook desktop application, or going to outlook.davidson.edu and logging in with your username and password. Your username is the first part of your email address followed by your two digit class year (e.g., username##@alumni.davidson.edu). Joan Wildcat from the Class of 2015 would be jowildcat15@alumni.davidson.edu. Alumni email accounts have 50 gigabytes of storage. For assistance or to reset your password, contact the Davidson Technology & Innovation Support Center either by emailing ti@davidson.edu or calling 704-894-2900.
