What elements from your Dickinson experience had the biggest impact on your time in college?

Studying abroad pushed me out of my comfort zone and gave me a whole new perspective, while the friendships I’ve made at Dickinson have made my college experience so much more meaningful!

Hailey Kiser
How has Dickinson prepared you for life after graduation?
Dickinson has prepared well for postgraduation. Working as an RA and as a student conduct panelist helped me learn my true passion for working with college students in student affairs and how meaningful the work in higher ed is. Having amazing mentors in Resident Life and Housing and in Student Life has set me up well to obtain a graduate degree in higher education and to obtain a GA position to fund my program. Being at a liberal arts college also prepared me well in diverse skills that are highly applicable to continue my education and beginning my career in student affairs.

What elements from your Dickinson experience had the biggest impact on your time in college?
During my time at Dickinson, the most impactful part of my experience was the people I met and learned from. Through my classes and everyday life, I was exposed to perspectives, cultures and ways of living that were completely new to me. Being surrounded by people from different backgrounds pushed me to think more openly and see beyond my own experiences. That is something I never could have imagined before coming to college. I will carry these experiences with me as I move forward, and they have shaped me into someone who feels ready to take on life outside of Dickinson.
