How has Dickinson prepared you for life after graduation?
Dickinson's professors in the English and American studies departments have been the main contributors to preparing me for a professional career after graduation. I gained various soft and hard skills like critical thinking, actually writing amidst an emerging AI world, critiquing my peer's thoughts and effective group scholarly conversations. In general, being president of a Greek organization has also prepared my communication and team working skills as well as increasing my confidence as a communicator in general.

Emese Daroczi
What elements from your Dickinson experience had the biggest impact on your time in college
I think one would definitely be the kind of intersectional educational experience I had; getting to double major (and then eventually also pick up two minors) while also having time for working (at the library!) and having a study abroad experience accounted for and almost built into the program made it feel like I was really getting the full benefit of my education. Beyond that, honestly, the way that I learned close reading and analysis in all of my areas of study really helped me in analyzing knowledge in my everyday life; it's invaluable, especially now when I'm trying to convey information in a public-facing manner.
