What elements from your Dickinson experience had the biggest impact on your time in college?
Dickinson's faculty are very encouraging of students looking into and spending time on what they are passionate about. Professor Sarah McGaughey in the German department supervised me on what was essentially a year-long passion project through an independent study on a book of German feminist literary theory because she knew how interested I was in doing the project and was incredibly encouraging throughout the entire process.
