Guidance Counselors

Welcome to Dickinson! Members of our admissions team understand that retrieving the information you need to help your students from college Web sites often can be difficult and time consuming. We hope that you find the information here useful, convenient and timely.

We also hope that you will discover the character and personality of Dickinson as well as what makes us unique. A distinctively Dickinson liberal-arts education prepares bright, aspiring young people to commit to lives of substantive contribution in all fields of endeavor necessary to advance a globally engaged democracy. These fields include law, medicine and health services, scientific research, the arts, business and finance, public service, education, community service, military, science and religion.

We invite your feedback because it is our goal to provide you with the tools you need to best serve your students. Please send any questions or suggestions to admit@dickinson.edu. 

Visiting Dickinson

Guidance counselors are welcome to visit anytime and participate in counselor tours. We recommend that you coordinate trip planning with our regional counselor.  

Dickinson College would like to invite you to join one of our special counselor programs held annually in February and April. Space is limited and registration is required. Contact your regional counselors to learn more about the programs. 

Dickinson's admissions staff members have been assigned to work with various regions both in the U.S. and overseas. Staff members assigned to your region are your primary contact for our admissions office. These staff members will travel to attend college fairs and other domestic/international events and review applications regionally.
