Dear Wildcats,
When I came to Davidson in the summer of 2015, my primary goal was to help Davidson finish a successful public phase of the Game Changers: Inspiring Leaders to Transform the World campaign. I was coming to a new region of the country, a new campus community and a new set of colleagues, with very little idea of what to expect.
Another longer-term goal was to gain broader experience within college athletics and in working with partners throughout the campus to better prepare myself for the future. Davidson provided a pathway for this professional and personal growth. Much like a first-year student will eventually graduate from Davidson a dramatically more prepared person for the outside world, Davidson treated me to the same type of transformational experience as an employee.
I will never forget this place or its people. I would not be prepared for my next chapter, as the Director of Athletics at Wheaton College, if it were not for the Davidson community.
Thank you all, stay in touch and if you’re ever up north looking for a friendly face, let me know.
While today is my final day working at Davidson, it’s always a great day to be Wildcat.
