’Cats Say Thanks

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

Davidson alums, families, faculty, staff and friends make a positive impact in every area of campus through their philanthropic support, volunteerism and engagement. During ’Cats Say Thanks, we want to thank every member of the Wildcat community for the roles they play in making Davidson so special. 

Rachel Mey Charles ’28 is a Posse Scholar planning to double major in political science or history and East Asian studies. She is a Student Engagement Ambassador and is involved with Black Femmes, the Skate Club and more. Rachel’s many opportunities (and she’s only in her first year!) wouldn’t be possible without the generosity of those who choose to give to Davidson.

Tyler Puleo ’25 is a Bonner Scholar and a recipient of the Gordon Clift Horton Scholarship. He is involved in theatre productions, has sung with the Chorale and serves on the Honor Council. The arts at Davidson provide students with outlets to create, innovate and explore the world around them.
