Make Dickinson Yours
We invite you to Make Dickinson Yours. You chose Dickinson because you found your college “fit.” Now that you’re here, we want to welcome you into our campus community. The beginning of your Dickinson experience offers you a chance to deepen your sense of affinity and connection—both inside and outside the classroom. With a bit of initiative, you can make your place here.
Make Dickinson Yours is designed to help you make a successful transition. As a residential liberal arts college, Dickinson is a “community of inquiry” organized to foster learning and growth: We want you to know that you belong here.
We want you to forge meaningful connections—with other students, faculty, staff and alumni. We want you to embrace difference—we’re a global campus dedicated to fostering an inclusive environment. We want you to develop a sense of your personal and civic priorities—how will you contribute to our campus community and the wider world?
Dickinson Four positions you to address these important priorities. Our campus will help by providing a careful balance of challenge and support. You will have numerous opportunities to connect with each other, upper-level students, staff and faculty. However, one of the most significant factors shaping your transition will be the motivation you bring to the experience: Dickinson is Dickinson because our students engage.
