She also contributed to the development and implementation of Becoming Better, Beloit鈥檚 anti-racism plan. Prior to Beloit, Davidson served in a variety of roles over 26 years at Bard College at Simon鈥檚 Rock, in Massachusetts. She concluded her tenure as chief strategy and innovation officer; prior to that, she served nine years as dean of the college, after five years as dean of admission and student affairs. 

Davidson earned her bachelor鈥檚 degree summa cum laude in English literature at Denison University and a master鈥檚 degree in administration, planning and social policy at Harvard University鈥檚 Graduate School of Education. She expects to earn her MBA next year from the Isenberg School of Management at the University of Massachusetts.
