AI as a Partner:

AI isn’t going away—but how you use it matters. AI as a Partner is a workshop that helps students move from using AI as a shortcut to using it as a tool for deeper thinking, better planning, and stronger decision-making. Rather than teaching “AI tricks,” this session focuses on understanding problems, recognizing what you know (and what you don’t), and learning how to work with AI without giving up ownership of your work. Students leave with practical strategies for using AI thoughtfully in academic and everyday contexts—and a clearer sense of when AI is helping versus when it’s doing too much.

This workshop consists of two separate days with the first day 2/10/2026 and the second day 2/17/2026 (attendance is required at each session to receive a certificate of completion)

If you sign-up for 2/10/26 session you are automatically enrolled in 2/17/26 session. Each session runs from 4:45-6:30 pm.

Write for Life is a 6-week book discussion and writing group for faculty and staff, sponsored by the Center for Teaching, Learning & Scholarship (CTLS), and inspired by the book Write for Life by Julia Cameron. Beginning the week of March 2, the group will meet in a hybrid format with in-person sessions in Weeks 1, 3, and 6 and virtual check-ins in Weeks 2, 4, and 5; exact meeting days and times will be determined by the group. Meetings will take place in the CTLS now located in the lower level of the Waidner-Spahr Library. Participants will explore writing as a sustaining life practice through discussion, guided reflection, and dedicated writing time in a supportive, low-pressure environment. To foster meaningful conversation and community, participation is limited to the first 10 registrants. The book will be provided. Registration deadline: February 20. To register, email CTLS@dickinson.edu.

Applications to study abroad/away for the Fall 2026 semester/Academic Year 2026-2027 are due February 15 (note: some programs have earlier deadlines and/or rolling admissions. Refer to program pages for exceptions). Interested students should review the information on the CGSE application portal for additional information.

The Student Orientation Director is an integral part of Dickinson’s New Student Orientation planning process. Students who serve in the position will learn practical administrative skills, plan programs independently, and learn more about the field of higher education administration. This is a full-time role from June 1-August 30 and includes housing and a food stipend.

Join Campus Life on Friday, 2/6 starting at 7:30pm in Kline for a killer night in the pool as we watch "Jaws", sink our teeth into some treats, and win some off the hook prizes! Wear your swimsuit and bring a towel.

2025 Form W2s are now available in Self Service Banner. Paper copies will be mailed no later than January 31, 2026 to individuals who did not elect to receive an electronic copy.

To view/print your W2:
1. Log on to the Gateway.
2. Select the SSB (Self-Service Banner) Tab

New for 2025:

If applicable, qualified overtime received for 2025 is reported in box 14 of the W2.

Qualified overtime refers to the extra premium paid (the “half-time” portion) for hours worked beyond 40 in a week that is required under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).

For tax years 2025 through 2028, individuals who receive qualified overtime compensation may deduct the pay that exceeds their regular rate of pay (the “half” portion of “time-and-a-half” compensation).

Because Dickinson’s over-time policy is more generous than that required by the FLSA, the qualified overtime reported in box 14 of the W2 may not match the overtime paid reported on pay slips.

Make your mark on the Trout! Art museums can and should be places that ignite curiosity, self-discovery, learning, socialization, and personal connectedness for everyone. Trout Workshop collaborators work with Trout staff to put these values into practice and provide input on all areas of Trout operations in bi-monthly workshops (Thursdays 12-1:15 PM). During workshop sessions, the group will create social media content, test and evaluate art activities, lesson plans, and exhibition tours, and offer personal reflections about connections between art museums and the world we live in. Trout Workshop collaborators also plan a spring social event, The Trout Gala, for Dickinson students. Collaborators get behind-the-scenes access, learn about museum operations, and make the Trout a better place, all while gaining valuable transferable skills.

Maximum 35, applicants accepted in the order received.

3 Hours per month, expect increased hours in the four weeks before Trout Gala.
