What are some of the defining moments of your Dickinson experience?   

 

Throughout my college career, there has been some experiences that shaped my Dickinson education, and I am grateful for those moments. My first experience that I really enjoyed was going along trips with the Outing Club my freshman year to places around south central PA. I attended almost every hike and outdoor related event moving into my sophomore year, and this was when I decided to actively get involved with the club by joining the executive board. Going from trip leader to social media coordinator to the president of the Outing Club really shaped my leadership and commitment to the club and the people who join us on trips. Being on the Outdoor Club at Dickinson as been an rewarding and valuable experience for my career after college.

 

Another moment of my Dickinson experience that I look back on is my time on the Junkyard Turkey’s Ultimate Frisbee team sophomore year when I participated in the home event in the fall. Through Frisbee club, I met so many friends and had a lot of fun attending practices and social events with the team. These are the friends that I made over the last two years at Dickinson, and I’m glad that I was able to form some incredible relationships with them. A third moment that really impacted my Dickinson experience was going to Cape Henlopen State Park, Del. my sophomore year in my oceanography class with Assistant Professor of Earth Sciences Jorden Hayes. Doing a collaborative field-research project with some amazing classmates at Cape Henlopen and spending time exploring the park on my own was an incredible moment that I had while at Dickinson.
