Dickinson Parent Connection Newsletter, November 2024

Sarah MaslandGreetings, Dickinson families! 

It was so nice to connect with many of you during Homecoming & Family Weekend at the start of November! We welcomed over 1,000 parents, family members, alumni, and friends of Dickinson back to campus for a beautiful weekend celebrating the Dickinson experience and our community.  

As we approach the final few weeks of the fall semester, I wanted to be in touch to highlight some news from campus, and to wish you all a healthy and Happy Thanksgiving! 

Warmly, 

Sarah Masland-Fatherree 
Director of Parent & Family Engagement
