Leadership

The Leadership Recognition Ceremony is held in April of each year. This program recognizes the outstanding leaders on campus with awards such as the 1902 Award, the Amy Snow Prize, and the Individual Class Leadership Awards. All students have the opportunity to be rewarded for their involvement on campus.

The Leading the Way program is held before classes begin in the Spring semester. For students involved in key campus leadership roles, this retreat focuses on collaboration and working with other groups on campus.

For junior- and senior-year students, the Community Leadership Program focuses on educating students about leadership opportunities available within a community. Using the Carlisle community as a model, this program will explore various avenues available for students interested in community involvement. Topics include Human Services, Business/Economic Development, Education, Government, and Religion. This program occurs during the evening hours and all participants must be on campus for the entire fall semester. To nominate someone for this program, e-mail stuact@dickinson.edu.

The Office of Student Activities is sponsoring a leadership series for first-year students entitled Dickinson Foundations. During this program, participants will meet every Monday evening with college administrators and staff, until Spring Break, for approximately 2 hours over dinner to discuss a relevant topic. The overarching theme for each session is one of the Dickinson Dimensions. Students will be expected to relate the Dimensions to their own goals of achievement and community involvement.

Located across from the Underground in the Lower Level of the HUB, the Leadership Development Center provides information and resources to individual students, clubs and organizations. A student organization copy machine is available for clubs and organizations to make free copies and some organizations have office space.

If you have ideas for leadership programs, we want to talk to you! We are looking for new ideas and feedback on the current campus leadership opportunities. If your friend at another school did something really cool, e-mail us. If you were part of an amazing program in high school that you think could work here, tell us. If you have a great idea, share it!
