How has Dickinson prepared you for life after graduation?

I've run clubs, organized events, pioneered research and made invaluable connections along the way. My friends and professors have encouraged me every step of the way. While it may sound small, the greatest educational impact this school has had on me has been my ability to read and write. Not only have I improved tremendously in these skills, but I've also learned to love them both. Dickinson has turned me into a voracious reader and a writing addict.
