Whether you're moving in with some help or strolling into the Union, we are excited you're here on campus. The last slide shows the freshman getting their beanies; these were worn the first two years of school. We have lots in our collection! #fdoc #davidsoncollege #movingin

Lake campus offers a picturesque setting, especially in these photos of the freshman regatta- a past early semester competition. Do you have a favorite one in your camera roll? 📸 : Sailing in the Freshman Regatta from the late 1970s and early 80s ___ #DavidsonCollege #lakenorman

It's #InternationalCatDay! We're sure we could celebrate the Wildcats everyday! Davidson became the home of the Wildcats in the early 1920s. We even had live wildcats! Roary and past iterations are more compassionate ways to show spirit. #DavidsonWildcats #davidsoncollege
