"It takes a village, and Dickinson’s is strong and welcoming,” says Jack Scantland ’28, whose first year brought opportunities to lead, learn and grow.
Students' award-winning papers shed light on the effects of heat on seaweed, morality and identity in literature, pain-relief delivery, the power of community and cultural memory.
Dickinson honors the winners of its annual FYS Excellence in Writing Award, the Prize for Excellence in First Year Research and the Research Prize for Sophomores or Juniors.
