The U.S. State Department last year named 13 Davidson students and alumni as finalists. Their research and teaching plans would have dispatched them to 11 countries, from Taiwan to Colombia to Spain. Davidson’s ranking this week comes as the United States moves to reengage in places around the globe from where it recently stepped back. That alignment highlights the college’s commitment to help students cultivate the courage to navigate unfamiliar challenges.
