How has Dickinson prepared you for life after graduation?

Dickinson has prepared me to excel in law school and for my career as a future attorney. The writing, critical thinking and diverse curriculum at Dickinson has greatly aided in my growth as a student and future professional.

What are some of the defining moments of your Dickinson experience?

Many of the defining moments of my Dickinson experience relate to competing for the Red Devils as a member of the football team for four years. Competing as a college athlete meant a lot to me and is something I will never forget. Additionally, being given the opportunity to complete Dickinson's 3+3 Program with Penn State Dickinson Law has been one of the biggest advantages I have been given in life. This is a program that many people do not know about. However, by completing it as a member of the football team, my story has been heard around campus. Resultantly, several students interested in completing the program have reached out to me over this last year. Knowing that my journey has potentially made an impact on the next generation of students means more to me than any other accomplishment that I achieved in my time at Dickinson College.
