Writer and Davidson alum Anna Katherine Clemmons 鈥01 takes readers back to one of Stephen Curry鈥檚 sociology classes during fall semester 2007, before arriving at Aug. 31, 2022鈥攁 day for family, friends and 5,000 Davidsonians to celebrate Curry and his impact on the college at a special event on campus.
On Wednesday, Curry received his diploma from Davidson, had his number and jersey retired, and was inducted into the Athletics Hall of Fame. And he spoke from the heart.
鈥淲hat Davidson stands for lives with me every time I step on the court, and every time I try to impact lives,鈥 he said. 鈥淗ow we represent Davidson in every room we walk into鈥攊t matters.鈥
In the piece, Clemmons charts Curry鈥檚 path as a 鈥渘ormal鈥 student who preferred late night breakfast from the only eatery open late on campus to 7th round draft pick to global superstar and NBA MVP.
