From Davis to Rhodes

All of us here at Davis are incredibly proud of and excited for Davis alum, Leah Michalove, as she celebrates being selected as a 2016 Rhodes Scholars. The best part is that all of us will soon benefit from Leah's academic contributions as she pursues her interest in anthropology with a focus on the Middle East. Click here to learn more!

Here's a note of congratulations that our Head of School, Amy Shafron, sent to our faculty and staff:

Dear Faculty & Staff,

Our greatest reward is witnessing the growth of each and every student over their childhood years and ultimately seeing the results of our work in the accomplishments of our graduates.  We enjoy their visits back to Davis and hearing about their high school and college placements, involvement in community service, successes in athletics and theater and ultimately seeing how the values we instilled during their years at Davis live on in these young men and women.

Once in a while, a truly unique success story comes along, and I’m thrilled to share this one with you. Leah Michalove, a graduate of the Davis Class of 2008, has been selected as a 2016 Rhodes Scholar. I believe we all recognize that this is one of the most prestigious honors in academia, and one that we can all be proud of. If you taught Leah, you should take personal pride in the role you played in her intellectual and personal growth!
