I think Dickinson has consistently provided resources and support toward its students to ensure that we are ready for our lives postgraduation. From the start, students were provided opportunities to attend meetings about resumes and career aspects to ensure their success. We also have access to job search engines that the college provides as well as access to Dickinson alumni information for opportunities at their places of employment. Under our internship program we were provided tasks outside of the actual internship that made us consider questions about the job we were interning for and how it relates to us as people as well as our personal hopes and goals for our careers postgraduation. On the social front, student and resident life consistently provided opportunities for interaction with others. Whether it be events on Britton Plaza or other events run by clubs, we were given the chance to attend and run our own events. This provided us experience that we would need to socialize with others at our future places of employment as well as allow us to be independent from constant supervision that we were used to in high school. Additionally, we had many opportunities to volunteer and see other aspects of the world that need our attention, separate from the jobs we want that have monetary gain. For instance, Greek life, CSE, CCLA, etc, had multiple opportunities for students to volunteer at events that placed us outside the safety of our bubble we had as children and youth. Between the career assistance and volunteering opportunities we as students had the resources that we need to thrive and be productive members of our communities.

Dickinson has prepared me for life after graduation by emphasizing the value of learning, inside and outside of the classroom, and continued education to help others. My classes and research experience at Dickinson helped me to better understand what I wanted to pursue post graduation, and the meaningful connections with my peers and professors has been instrumental in creating a supportive learning environment. I am very grateful for the strong educational foundation I have received at Dickinson, namely in the psychology and English departments, which has prepared me to confidently enter graduate work in public health.
