Recently at Dickinson 7


Out-of-the-ordinary learning opportunities continue to abound. Most recently, students organized an a cappella fundraiser, got career tips by alumni who are industry leaders, monitored their own EKGs in a science class, attended an exhibit by College Photographer Carl Socolow '77 and chatted about international affairs with retired Navy Adm. Dennis Blair, a former U.S. director of national intelligence and commander in chief of U.S. Pacific Command.

Students also had buzz-worthy experiences on the field. The football team won the bucket , and the men's soccer team captured the first Centennial Conference championship.
