Byron McCrae

I have been fortunate to work with remarkable students during my career in higher education. In each of my positions in education and in my volunteer work, I have been inspired by what students and young alumni have accomplished as artists, educators, public servants, scientists and innovators in other fields. The draw to Davidson therefore was very strong, as I can think of no better place to engage with young leaders who are smart, driven and kind, and apt to make a positive impact in the world. 

At Davidson, I advise the student government association and the student Honor Council. As Vice President for Student Life & Dean of Students, I am the college’s chief student affairs officer and serve on the college’s senior leadership team. I am also a co-convener for the Deliberative Citizenship Initiative and on the steering team for Davidson’s Fostering Inclusivity in the Sciences Together initiative, which is funded by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.
