How has Dickinson prepared you for life after graduation?
Dickinson has given me the opportunity to diversify myself. I have been able to complete undergraduate research, participate in internships, play a varsity sport, participate in the music program and volunteer. I never had to limit myself or sacrifice one opportunity for another, and I am so thankful for the chance to do it all. I have had a wealth of experiences that I don't think I would have been able to have anywhere else.
