Make Dickinson Yours
We challenge you to make Dickinson yours. You chose Dickinson because you found your college fit. Now that you’re here, we want you to engage actively with the campus community. We want you to deepen your sense of belonging and connection—both inside and outside the classroom. With a bit of initiative, you can make your place here.
The Make Dickinson Yours challenge is designed to help you make connections and become an active community member. As a residential liberal arts college, Dickinson is a “community of inquiry” organized to foster learning and growth. We want you to know that you belong here just as you are.
We want you to forge meaningful connections with other students, faculty, staff, and alumni. We want you to embrace difference—we’re a global campus dedicated to fostering an inclusive environment. We want you to develop a sense of your personal and academic priorities—how will you contribute to our campus community and the wider world?
Dickinson Four positions you to address these important priorities. Our campus will help by providing a careful balance of challenge and support. You will have numerous opportunities to connect with other students, staff and faculty. However, one of the most significant factors shaping your time at Dickinson will be the motivation and investment you bring to the experience: Dickinson is Dickinson because our students purposely engage in our community.
