This exhibition features works by Dickinson College senior studio art majors. Stop by to find more about this and future exhibitions and upcoming events at The Trout Gallery.

The Wellness Center is overseeing the administration of the NCHA. This student survey is critical to understanding numerous dimensions of students' health (e.g., mental health, substance use, nutrition, physical health, etc). Participation is voluntary but strongly encouraged in order to shape future development and implementation of programs and services that best meet students' health needs. Students will receive an invitation to participate on April 6th, and they will have until April 30th to complete the survey. All students who participate will be entered into a drawing to win one of four $50 giftcards.

You are invited to join The Trout Gallery for the opening our latest exhibition “Give Up the Ghost” on Friday, April 17, 2026, 5 – 7 PM. This exhibition features works by Dickinson College senior studio art majors: Sarah R. Coates, Izzy Enrique, Johnny Nguyen, Miranda Sipe, Larry Vandyke, Chris Vill, and Inés Zamora under the collective direction of Dickinson’s studio art faculty.

Free beverages and light appetizers will be served. Valid ID is required to enjoy alcoholic beverages.

This event is free, and everyone is welcome.

Welcome to the April 2026 edition of our Workday monthly e-newsletter, your source for updates and insights about Dickinson’s transition to Workday.

Workday’s March update is now live! These twice-yearly updates happen automatically in March and September, and continue to bring improvements to features, security, and overall usability. The project team reviewed and tested changes in advance to keep things running smoothly. The most noticeable change this round is the updated navigation in the Web view and the mobile app. The new pinned sidebar keeps your apps and tasks visible, making it quicker and easier to get where you need to go.

As Workday continues to evolve, we’re also continuing to support the campus through Workday Wednesdays. Based on the positive feedback we’ve received, these informal, drop-in sessions will continue throughout the spring. Whether you have a quick question or need help with a task, stop by for assistance. See the dates included in the full version of the newsletter (click the more information link) or check EngageD for upcoming dates, times, and locations.

Looking ahead, the next big milestone is the launch of Workday Adaptive Planning in May. Adaptive Planning is Workday’s budgeting and forecasting tool, designed to make it easier to plan, model scenarios, and manage budgets in a more flexible and collaborative way. Our Technology Transformation also includes the addition of Prism, an internal tool to support operations with analytics and reporting, which will enhance our current data capabilities in Workday.

During the fall semester, we will begin to plan, develop and build the Student tenant as part of Workday phase 2, with an ultimate go-live goal for Student in 2028. To explore what happens in these next phases of Workday, please visit the Workday Project Website.

Meal plans for fall 2026 must be selected during the housing lottery beginning April 14th, 2026. Meal plans will not carry over from the spring semester. If you do not choose a meal plan, you will be automatically placed on the ANY21 plan.

There are a limited number of additional tickets for an Indoor Commencement Ceremony available (these are in addition to the two tickets that all graduates will receive). Please note tickets are required only if the ceremony must be moved indoors due to severe weather. If the ceremony is held outdoors, tickets will not be required, and there will be no limit on the number of guests. To distribute these tickets in a fair and equitable way, the extra tickets will be awarded through a raffle. Eligible graduates may enter the raffle for a chance to receive an additional one or two tickets beyond their original allotment of two tickets. Raffle entry does not guarantee additional tickets due to limited availability.

Complete the form below by April 19 to enter into the raffle. One entry per person. Winners will be announced the week of April 20. Tickets will be distributed with your original two tickets, May 13-16.
