Liah Davis is eager to change the world

by Billy Chandler

Our Emory & Henry seniors are preparing to graduate and change the world.

Liah Davis Liah DavisLiah Davis of Vinton, Va. will receive a bachelor’s degree in exercise science with minors in biology and psychology.

Liah will graduate with the class of 2023. In addition to her studies in exercise science, Davis is also a member of Kappa Phi Alpha and Pre-health club. She was on the swim team during her first year. “An Emory & Henry education has benefited me by opening connections and creating close relationships with the community. The time I had here I learned a lot in a little time, not only did my professors help me through the tough subjects in their classes and were always there for me but they also care about your personal life/state of mind,” Davis said.

“If you do choose to come here, I recommend Greek Life,” Davis said. “Greek life opens so many more connections and a whole different bond than just being at Emory for school or even sports.”

“I plan on taking a gap year after graduation and then going into graduate school,” Davis said of her plans after graduation.

Emory is constantly growing but it’s still a smaller college so most people have close relationships. The class sizes are smaller so the professor is able to connect with you better and give you additional help.
