DAF report

From today's email:
We are proud to share that the DAF raised nearly $6 million in scholarship endowment commitments. Davidson remains a national leader in alumni participation, reaching 49 percent in overall alumni giving. Scholar-athlete alumni participation topped out at 52.8 percent, which is consistently higher than the national average. These resources provide our scholar-athletes with the opportunity to pursue excellence in competition and in the classroom.
Davidson College placed a record 314 scholar-athletes on the 2019-20 Atlantic 10 Commissioner's Honor Roll. Davidson's previous high was 271 honorees in 2018-19. To qualify for the Commissioner's Honor Roll, a scholar-athlete must have a 3.0 year-long GPA and compete in an A-10 sponsored sport. Davidson had the fourth-most athletes recognized in the conference.
As we move into a new fundraising year, we will continue to place a priority on securing scholarship support for our 21 Division I programs. Please be on the lookout for future communications from our office about how to get involved.
We hope to see you this fall at athletic events. Again, thank you for your continued support of Davidson Athletics.
