Challenge Yourself - Ignite Your Future
The Dickinson Four is about challenging yourself. It’s about seeking what you want your experience to be rather than waiting for it to be handed to you. It’s about constantly asking “why” and “why not” and reflecting on your learning as you go. It’s about making the most out of your four years in and out of the classroom.
Imagine a campus community where each student maximizes opportunities and confidently articulates the value of their liberal arts education. Imagine a world in which Dickinsonians are connected, can identify their authentic interests and passions, are capable of working across differences, and ready to engage as citizens of the world.
The Dickinson Four offers you an intentional self-developed path through engaging with four challenges: Make Dickinson Yours, Discover What Matters, Deepen Your Focus, and Expand Your Story. Through your Dickinson experience, you will have opportunities for intellectual growth, engagement, well-being, and leadership that will help you chart your path to personal and professional success.
