The College Farm is opening it's pick-your-own strawberry patch on Monday, May 26th! The patch will be open to the public on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 8am to noon through mid-June. $4 per quart.

If u-pick is not your thing but you are still interested in fresh veggies and products from the College Farm, please consider shopping at our on-farm shop! Open Monday through Friday from 8am to 5pm, this self-serve operation aims to be a one-stop shop for fresh seasonal fruits and veggies, farm-raised beef, canned good, fresh ferments and more!

Both the u-pick and farmstand opportunities are located at the College Farm at 553 Park Drive in Boiling Springs.

We are excited to share that we will once again host our Community Donut Socials. The summer months provide the perfect time to enjoy a walk across campus and conversation with fellow Dickinsonians. The socials will take place on the Weiss Patio (rain location: Weiss Lobby) from 9-10 a.m. on Tuesday mornings from June 17–August 19. We hope to see you there.

Workday Project Update

During May, our Workday project team completed a major milestone: Customer Confirmation Sessions (CCS).
These sessions ensured that the final designs of our business processes align with the needs of each functional area.

What’s a Customer Confirmation Session?
It’s a walk-through of system configurations and business processes that have been built in Workday for specific workstreams. CCS allows stakeholders to preview how Workday will support their work and provide input before testing begins. Sessions included demonstrations of tasks and processes in key areas:

• Finance: Budget, Endowment, Business Assets, Customer Accounts, Supplier Accounts,
Expenses, Projects, Gifts and Grants
• Human Capital Management (HCM): Recruiting, HCM Core, Benefits, Compensation,
Time Tracking, Absence, Talent, Learning and Payroll

With CCS complete, the project now moves into End-to-End Testing—a phase where the full system is tested from start to finish to confirm that processes are connected, functioning properly, and ready for go-live this winter.

We’re also building our Change Agent Network (CAN)—a team of volunteers from across campus who will help guide their colleagues through the transition to Workday. Want to stay in the loop and support your department?

If you are pursuing a remote or in-person internship or research experience this summer, you can register with the Summer Internship Notation Program (INP) or Research Experience Program (REXP). Through INP/REXP, you’ll enhance your internship/research by engaging in a personalized, reflective experience designed to support your goals. AND, the experience will be recognized on your official academic transcript.

All active, matriculated students with an internship are welcome to register through the Forms section of Gateway. Students should plan to submit a registration before June 1, if possible. Please contact intern@dickinson.edu if you need more time to make the internship arrangements.

International students studying on an F1 visa:
According to F-1 regulations, if you plan to pursue an internship/research experience with an organization other than Dickinson College – whether remote or in-person, whether paid or unpaid – you MUST register with the INP and obtain CPT work authorization approval BEFORE you can start the experience.
• CPT is required in every circumstance if you are located within the U.S.
• CPT is required if you are located outside of the U.S. but working for a U.S.-based company
• CPT is not required if you are located outside of the U.S. and working for a non-U.S.-based company
