2018: “The Division” by Cordelia Wilks ’18
-
Description
-
For her senior thesis, Cordelia Wilks ’18 creates a documentary film exploring Davidson Athletics — its culture, talent, and long-term goals as compared to other Division I schools. Wilks is the first student to make a film as an English honors thesis since the first one by Jason Ferris in 1999. In 2021, she remains the only female student to do so. During Wilks’ time at Davidson, two visiting McGee professors are filmmakers: Ali Selim and Thomas Gilroy. The presence of these two filmmakers at Davidson reflects student demand for film professors, likely stemming from Dr. Zoran Kuzmanovich’s course Film as a Narrative Art and Dr. Paul Miller’s course Documentary Film.
