DAVIDSON IN THE NEWS

As an undergraduate in the 1990s, I didn’t attend an Ivy League school, but I attended one that was very similar, Davidson College in North Carolina. It was dubbed, by whom I don’t even know, the “Princeton of the South.” It remains a Top 10 ranked liberal arts college. (For reference: It’s where Stephen Curry played his college basketball.) I also studied at Harvard University for a year as a Nieman Fellow in 2013 and 2014. Davidson is a smaller version of Harvard, just without the graduate schools.
