More than 250 people from all divisions of the college attended the on-campus launch of the First in America campaign. Faculty, staff and students gathered in the HUB Social Hall for the kickoff, which featured refreshments, remarks and a preview of the campaign video.

First in America campaign pins are appearing all over campus as college employees voice their support for the College and their confidence in its ambitions for the future. The pins, a special edition available only to Dickinson College faculty and staff, represent participation in giving to the First in America: Fulfilling Our Destiny campaign.
