The Pride Pages

Who makes you proud to be a Dickinsonian? What fills you with pride for your alma mater? We’ve been posing this question to the Dickinson community, and we’re going to continue posing it, because the responses continue to move us. Here are just a few of the #dsonproud responses we’ve collected:

Two words: Hunter Tuccio [’18]. I am so proud to share my alma mater with him. This is a young man of solid intelligence, impressive drive, and focused determination. He is still an undergraduate and contributes directly to the college through extra-curricular activities, his amazing golf prowess, and his insights that come from his life experiences (including his entrepreneurial ventures before and during his years at Dickinson). He has traveled to many places, enriching his appreciation of people and places far different from his home town or Carlisle. But more than anything, Hunter instills #dsonpride with his eagerness to learn and to put that learning to positive use.

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. We are proud to share stories of our incredible community within these pages four times a year, and we always have more stories to tell than we have space to tell them.
