鈥淭he college gave me my best friends and a wonderful education. Dickinson鈥檚 courses and activities made me a better student, leader and person, and its diverse community allowed me to build lasting friendships with students from across the United States and all over the world. I also give because the college has done more and better, year after year, during the 20 years since my graduation.鈥� 鈥擜ngela Wallis 鈥�02, 20th-reunion volunteer, class agent, Mermaid Society member

Your Collective Support Makes a Difference!

This spring, you can join fellow alumni and families in supporting Dickinson students. Here are a few members of our community who are getting involved and giving back.

鈥淚 hope my gift provides access for students who need financial assistance for their education. I am forever grateful for the generosity that was provided to me when I was a student. I think giving back is a simple way to assist the endeavors of an institution that provided you with so many resources.鈥� 鈥擪ali Avans 鈥�11, Alumni Council member, vice president of the African American Alumni Association, Mermaid Society member

鈥淲e felt that focusing on a specific area, especially one as important as mental health, would be the most impactful. Working with the college, we were able to find this unique way of aligning something that is important to our family and can benefit the current students. On Day of Giving, we will be offering a challenge to help raise additional funds for wellness initiatives at Dickinson. We want to ensure that Dickinson students have the support they need for wellness and mental health.鈥� 鈥擩on 鈥�06 and Nicole Hays 鈥�07, John Dickinson Society and Mermaid Society members

鈥淢y family and I feel it is important to support the students and faculty at our colleges and universities. From a young age, I remember my parents (my mother is a member of the class of 鈥�76), my godmother (class of 鈥�77) and their classmates celebrating their time at Dickinson. They participated in reunions and career events, and they visited campus regularly. I saw how they kept in touch with and gave back to the college they cared so much about, and I wanted to keep that tradition going once I became an alumna.鈥� 鈥擡llen Dunlap 鈥�03, class agent and Mermaid Society member
