Volunteer Testimonials |
|
| Volunteers are one of Dickinson's greatest assets. They share their Dickinson spirit and knowledge to engage fellow alumni, prospective students, parents and friends in the life of the college. Volunteering for Dickinson can be a rewarding and fulfilling experience, one that we hope you will enjoy for a long time. Volunteers invest their time in Dickinson for many reasons. The volunteers featured here each have their own reasons for giving their time so generously to the college. We hope you will be inspired by them and take a moment to reflect on your own commitment to Dickinson as you listen to and read their testimonials. | |

“When you work in the corporate world for a long time, you learn that you really don’t get anything except through hard work and the dedication of a lot of people. It’s nice to be able to reuse your skills and ability for a cause that you believe in. And I really do believe in Dickinson. So coming here and using that which I’ve learned in the corporate world is really a joy.” |

“Being able to be a leader with the Dickinson Baltimore Club is a wonderful opportunity for me because I know it’s a role that I can play where I know I’m making a difference, I know I’m bringing people back, to the Dickinson experience, giving them an opportunity to many pursue a new skill or explore a new area of the community they may not have known about, and doing it right along with their Dickinson friends.” |

“The opportunity to really, from a professional perspective, be able to take some of the skills and the abilities and the knowledge that I gained here—critical thinking, writing, communication, collaboration, all of those things—and bring about to put that in place in a successful business career has really been meaningful as well. So I want to make sure that everything Dickinson has given me—personally, professionally, academically, socially, culturally—I want to give back in some way, and volunteering is the way I see doing that.” View Peter's Testimonial |

"It is rewarding to be a part of Dickinson during this exciting time. As an alumnus and as a parent, I am glad to be closer to the college during President Durden's inspiring leadership. Getting to see the changes in the college from the perspective of the Parents Council has been informative, and hearing from the professionals leading the college makes one proud. I have attended Parents Council meetings, contributed to the Helicopter Parenting Quiz (that later appeared in NEWSWEEK), greeted and spoke at Orientation, and attended college fairs for Dickinson. The news is so good from Carlisle that one wants to spread it." |
