In March, 10 students attended the sixth annual Davidson on Wall Street career trek to experience a firsthand look at some of the country’s top names in financial services. In addition to visiting six firms, students were able to explore New York City and attend a networking event with local Davidson alumni. Several of the 2023 participants have already secured summer 2023 and summer 2024 internships with firms such as Bank of America, Self Help Credit Union, and Wells Fargo.

Organizations visited included: JPMorgan, Wells Fargo, Morgan Stanley, East Rock Capital, and Training the Street.

A group of up to 14 first year-senior students were selected to participate in a career exploration trek to Atlanta, Georgia at the start of Spring Break 2023. Students experienced unparalleled discovery, learning, professional development, and networking with employers and alumni in the Atlanta area under the supervision of the Matthews Center for Career Development. This career trek empowered student participants to further develop their understanding of the challenges and opportunities in pursuing a variety of careers.

Organizations visited included: Bain & Company, BCG Brighthouse, Brasfield & Gorrie, Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, Emory University, School of Medicine, and  Kids Alive International.

The mission of the Davidson Impact Fellowship Program (DIF) is to provide high-impact fellowship positions for graduating Davidson students with key nonprofit leaders at the forefront of critical social issues. DIF empowers postgraduate fellows to create and implement solutions to the most urgent problems confronting communities, fostering leadership, and promoting robust social change.

Thanks to the generosity of the Harvey family, underscored by partners at Wells Fargo Securities, Levine Foundation, and the Duke Endowment, this postgraduate fellowship initiative has empowered Davidson graduates to work with organizations addressing critical social issues such as health, education, policy, social justice and the environment. The 2022-2023 program welcomed a new organization, Leading On Opportunity, based in Charlotte.
