The Davidson experience in the words of Professor Frontis Johnston, "can prepare students not just for something, but for anything."  Davidson graduates embody the commitment to leadership and service Davidson seeks to instill in her students.  And for many graduates, their exemplary life of achievement, excellence and service bring great honor and recognition to Davidson College. 

Davidson lists memorials to those alumni no longer with us and honors annually those that represent family, community and alma mater with character, grace and humility.
