Davis College Alumni Day with the Toledo Mud Hens
June 27, 2008
What better way for Davis College to celebrate its 150th Anniversary than a ball game at Fifth Third Field with the Toledo Mud Hens. Davis College promotions will highlight this Alumni event, and the president and president emeritus will throw out the ceremonial first pitches.

Founder’s Day

Davis College will celebrate the date that the institution was founded in 1858. Refreshments, fun, and prizes will highlight this celebration for Davis College’s students, alumni, friends, employees, and the Toledo community.

Scramble "Fore" Scholarships Golf Outing

Davis College Alumni Hayride
September 26, 2008
The hayride was the premiere autumn student event at Davis College from the late 1970s until the mid 1990s. Music, dance, great food, and hayrides created a fun event for all. This September Davis College will bring back the hayride so that alumni, friends, and employees can once again take part in this Davis tradition.

Celebrity Congratulations
Jamie Farr, Sean Casey, Jeff Gordon, Dr. Phil, Regis Philbin, Mike Rowe (Dirty Jobs), Ben Rothlesberger, and Ted Nugent are among a growing number of celebrities who have sent their best wishes to Davis College on its 150th Anniversary; even the Pope sent his good wishes. Photos of celebrities wearing 150th commemorative T-shirts will be available to view in the near future on the Davis College Website.

$1858 Davis College Give Back
It’s our community that has made us successful all of these years; therefore, it is a priority for Davis College to give back to the community. It is a goal of the year-long celebration to give $1858 (representing the founding year of Davis) each month to a charity chosen by the students, faculty, staff, and administration.

Davis College Celebrates 150th Anniversary with Breakfast Honoring Jamie Farr

Over 120 Davis friends, family, and co-workers attended the event, which was held in the Grand Ballroom at the Hilton Hotel. During the breakfast Mr. Farr reminisced about his Toledo heritage while highlights from his successful acting career played on a large video screen. Davis College President Diane Brunner concluded the event by giving Mr. Farr an honorary degree in Fashion Merchandising for his work on the hit TV show “M*A*S*H”. 

Davis College is accredited by The Higher Learning Commission and a member of the North Central Association (NCA).








geocaching

Davis College is proud to introduce its own geocache site “It’s all about where
you’re going.”
 
What is geocaching? (pronounced like geo-“cashing” a check)

Geocaching is a scavenger hunt game that people play with a hand-held GPS.  As a site, we give a general location and some clues, and they come looking for it. The sites are all over the world and we now are one of them for our 150th year!

Generally a geocacher finds a trinket to take and then leaves one for the next treasure hunter.  

In our geocache, we are putting a limited edition 150th Anniversary coin for them to take. We are also asking them to take a picture of themselves with the 150th t-shirt with a supplied disposable camera.
