7 Days of Dickinson

Wherever you are in your life—or the world—Dickinson can help you keep learning.

Want to hear from thought leaders on topics ranging from nanotechnology to the history of the Supreme Court? The Clarke Forum offers alumni and parents access to more than 200 videos of experts who have visited the college.

Want to join in on the discussion from the comfort of your own home? Check out an upcoming livestream lecture.

Or, if you’d prefer to continue learning from Dickinson faculty and students, check out these recent Webinars and a performance highlight video from the Department of Music:

• Climate Change, Hibernation and Rattlesnakes—Oh My!, with Associate Professor of Biology Scott Boback
• The Five Things You Need to Know About Congressional Elections, with Assistant Professor of Political Science David O'Connell
• Department of Music Performance Highlights

And if you’re looking to learn something that can help with career development, don’t forget that Dickinson offers lifelong career support to all alums. The two easiest ways to tap into that support are:

1. Register for an upcoming Alumni Career Webinar, “Is a Career in the Medical Field Right for You.”
2. Join Alumnifire (did you know Alumnifire doesn’t just allow you to provide career advice and networking opportunities to students—it also allows you to look for a job, find a mentor or a mentee, connect with nearby Dickinsonians and grow your business?)

We need you! The Dickinson volunteer network includes alumni and parents from more than 40 states spanning more than seven decades. Whether helping to plan reunions, hosting an internship or externship, interviewing prospective students or serving on Alumni Council or the Parents Leadership Council, these dedicated Dickinsonians are an integral part of Dickinson’s mission. Today we celebrate them all, while inviting more Dickinsonians to lean in and lend a hand.

Once a Red Devil, always a Red Devil— and what better way to show your enduring connection to Dickinson than by supporting today’s Red Devils. Watch livestreams of the men’s and women’s basketball team as they take on Ursinus College—or, if you’re in the area, come out for a tailgate and cheer on the teams in person. And, of course, you can always show your support for today’s Red Devils by making a McAndrews Fund gift at www.dickinson.edu/gift.

Maybe the number-one way Dickinsonians stay connected to Dickinson is by staying connected to other Dickinsonians.

We know that you’ve made lifelong friendships through Dickinson, and today’s the day to celebrate that. Post a photo of yourself and another Dickinsonian (or two, or more!) on social media (don’t forget to use the #dsonproud hashtag), or submit a class note at dsonmag@dickinson.edu to let your classmates know what you’ve been up to lately.

7 Days of Dickinson is underway, and today we're asking Dickinsonians everywhere to show their pride in one of three ways:

1. Take advantage of the College Bookstore’s Cyber Monday sale for alumni and parents, and pick up some new Dickinson apparel*.

2. Post a selfie on social media, wearing the Dickinson gear you already have.

3. Share a social media post about one of Dickinson’s many points of pride:

• 17 global programs in 14 countries and nearly 60 percent of the class of 2018 having studied abroad.
• No. 1 Overall Top Performer, Sustainable Campus Index 2018
• Recognition as a Top Fulbright Producing Liberal-Arts College by the U.S. Department of State
• No. 6 "Cool School," ranking from Sierra Magazine
• A personalized approach to student success recently highlighted by the Washington Post
• Faculty research and expertise highlighted in The Washington Post, National Geographic, Forbes, The Guardian, Science and The Hechinger Report

And don’t forget to use the hashtag #dsonproud, so that we can share your post for all to see.

The bookstore's 20 percent discount applies only to clothing items.

Join in the global giving movement by making your gift to Dickinson on Giving Tuesday.

Support vital scholarships, innovative academic programs, groundbreaking student-faculty research and more by making a gift to the Dickinson Fund at www.dickinson.edu/gift. Because your gift makes a difference—and that’s what Dickinsonians do!

Celebrated on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving, Giving Tuesday is an international initiative that kicks off the charitable season, when people around the world begin to focus on their holiday and end-of-year giving.

As someone who knows the benefits of a Dickinson education, you’re uniquely equipped to help prospective students with the potential to become great Dickinsonians. To highlight the ways you can engage with Dickinson through admissions today, we’re asking you to recommend a student, volunteer for DAVS (in select areas), and—since we’re right in the midst of application season—share on social media your Dickinson story.
