What are some of the defining moments of your Dickinson experience?
In the spring of 2020 when we were told that we weren't returning to Dickinson, everything moved online. It was a hard time for everyone and Dickinson's swift response and commitment to continuing classes as quickly as possibly impressed me. The professors did an excellent job staying available for questions and teaching us despite the difficulties. Another defining moment of my time at Dickinson was Gaming Club. Gaming Club met every Saturday to play board, card, and video games. It allowed me to make incredible friends that I will continue to stay in contact with as I move on from my time here. The professors at Dickinson have also been stellar both in and out of the classroom. They're always available to make an appointment even outside of office hours. They have been a source of advice and direction as I decided my major and my path forward from my Dickinson. The final defining moment was when Dickinson added the data analytics major. This addition to the curriculum has changed my career path forever. Data analytics is fascinating to me and I will be attending a graduate program at Georgia Tech in the fall to pursue analytics further.

How has Dickinson prepared you for life after graduation?
Life at Dickinson has taught me the importance of connections both on campus as well as in the community. At a small liberal-arts school, from academics to athletics to extracurriculars, the connections made every step of the way have made a profound remodeling of my outlook on life. The supportive staff and my classmates have taught me that challenges are there to be overcome and I cannot do it alone. It is this necessity that provided me to grow intellectually and as a person. This is one attribution that cannot be quantified but will continue with me through the rest of my life.
