Campaign Launch in Philadelphia

Founders

Following welcoming remarks by campaign co-chairs George and Jennifer Ward Reynolds '77, costumed musicians entered playing a fife and drum. Benjamin Franklin took the stage, followed by compatriots John Dickinson, Benjamin Rush and Thomas Jefferson. Contemporary Dickinsonians joined the college's founders for a lively exchange.
