What elements from your Dickinson experience had the biggest impact on your time in college?
The professors. What sets Dickinson apart is how genuinely accessible and invested they are, not just in the classroom but in your growth as a person. They create real relationships with students, and that made all the difference for me. One moment that stands out is the math and CS department's annual "Where Do I Go From Here?" talk, where professors share different pathways students can pursue. As a first-year, I had no clear direction. I wasn't sure what I wanted or where I was headed. But that talk inspired me to apply for an REU, a research experience for undergraduates. I had no prior research experience, just a passionate letter, and I got in. That opportunity completely shaped my interests and helped me discover what I truly want to do with my future. It's a perfect example of how the people at Dickinson, and the environment they create, can open doors you didn't even know existed.
