How to make the most of Dickinson's state-of-the-art alumni & family center

by MaryAlice Bitts-Jackson

Excitement for the John M. Paz '78 Alumni & Family Center has been building since its grand opening last spring. But how can Dickinson alumni and parents seize full advantage of this state-of-the-art resource? The details are now just a click away

Welcoming though it is, the Paz Center is far more than simply a welcome center. It is the first permanent campus home for Dickinson alumni and families and for friends of the college. All Dickinsonians and Dickinson families are invited to visit, celebrate and connect here in comfort and style.

This hub for college-hosted social, networking and educational opportunities brings generations of Dickinsonians together with each other—and with current students, faculty experts and college leaders.

The Paz Center Lounge is a prime spot to relax, unwind and connect. It's also the site of special educational, social and networking events.

Looking for opportunities for lifelong learning, networking, mentoring or meeting with current faculty, students and college leaders? Keep an eye out for upcoming special events at the center.

Planning a longer stay? Space permitting, you can book one of the Paz Center’s six premium suites. Accommodating two, three or four guests, the suites include access to a kitchenette. All suites are $279 plus tax per night. To learn more about how to book one of these suites, email thepazcenter@dickinson.edu or call 717-245-1149. 

The center's well-appointed spaces are also available for mini-reunions and other events. And because the Paz Center stands at the gateway to campus—at the history-rich site of the former President’s House—on-campus and downtown hotspots are just steps away.
