Research shows that high-impact practices (HIPs)—such as internships, undergraduate research, community-based learning, study abroad, and first-year seminars, to name a few—go beyond building a strong resume. They deepen learning, foster self-discovery, and help students connect their experiences to their goals.
At Dickinson, we offer distinctive programs like the Academic Internship & Research Program (INP/REXP) and the Fellowships Program, connecting classroom learning with real-world experiences and professional growth. Through critical reflection, students articulate their learning, shape their story, and gain clarity about their strengths, values, and future direction. These transformative opportunities support students in accomplishing their goals and preparing to navigate life beyond college with confidence and purpose.
We are dedicated to helping students pursue these impactful experiences and tell their unique stories.
