Kendyl
My name is Kendyl, and I use she/her pronouns. I have lived in or near Mecklenburg County for nearly my entire life. Currently, I live off campus in Huntersville, the place I consider my hometown. My roommates include my best bud Cammie, who is a senior doggo, and some critters, who I rescued from Davidson College’s animal testing labs. You can view my website for the course here!
“Woof!” – Cammie
While I am somewhat new to Davidson, I am also nearing graduation with three semesters left of my undergraduate career. I transferred here in the fall of 2023 from Oxford College of Emory University. In the attached image, you can see my dog and me prior to the Oxford College graduation ceremony. My Associate of Arts was signed by an interim dean since Doug Hicks resigned as Oxford College Dean a year prior to my graduation. You probably guessed that he left Emory University to serve as Davidson College President!
My academic focuses include English (nonfiction, digital media, film/photography, disability studies) and Environmental Natural Sciences (geology, paleoclimatology, mineral resources, policy, accessibility). No matter the subject, accessibility and disability inclusion are two essential practices that I keep in mind. Outside of my studies, I serve as a board member of a disability-focused nonprofit for women/marginalized genders; am currently working on a local accessibility project surrounding public parks and trails; and volunteer for an international climate policy organization.
