Through guest speakers, themed meals and interactive sessions, the summit explored ways to find purpose and meaning in life and how to successfully leverage your Dickinson education and the global Dickinson community. Attendees also discussed how to maintain a sense of identity in new communities, create lasting change and build partnerships with allies.
The student organizers were inspired by the leaders they met, and they were empowered to see their successful, large-scale event take shape. The alumni enjoyed making and rekindling connections and connecting with a new generation of Dickinsonians. —MaryAlice Bitts-Jackson dson.co/woc19
