Nick McGuire says, “I’m studying Ghanaian Anthropology abroad this summer in Cape Coast, Ghana, through a program that Davidson does with the University of Cape Coast. However, in addition to classes, I am working with deaf children, teaching them English and interacting with them. Also, because I love percussion and was a drummer at Landon, I am studying African drumming and dance with accomplished drum masters.”
Jordan Gear placed fourth at Pac 12 Conference championships on the 10-meter platform and 20th at USA Nationals in December on the 1- and 3-meter.
Dwight Townsend-Gray writes, “I am keeping busy at Maryland, including serving as vice-president of the water polo team and acting in theatrical groups. The big news is that I will be spending my summer in Syracuse, N.Y., as an intern with the grounds crew of the Chiefs, the Triple-A affiliate of the Nationals.”
