How has Dickinson prepared you for life after graduation?
My Dickinson education, specifically the opportunity to conduct research early, has been critical in applying to graduate school. I spearheaded a research project headed for publication, and I couldn't have done that at many other colleges. Additionally, I've had the opportunity to be involved as a tour guide and student interviewer with admissions, chair of MOB, the QR Center, library student supervisor and Greek life. I was able to be part of these experiences while at the same time focusing on academics, and I am thankful for Dickinson for this.

How has Dickinson prepared you for life after graduation?
Dickinson has allowed me to do things that I would have never thought I would be able to do. I came to Dickinson as a shy, not very confident person. I am now leaving Dickinson having been involved in many different leadership roles, presenting my research and having made connections that I know I can come back to if I ever need help in any way. I think that I have gotten a good background in topics that I hope to learn more about during my master's and other future endeavors.
