Welcome to Dickinson!

Before you arrive to campus:

Getting involved onCE ON campus:

Adjusting to college takes a lot. That’s why Hillel is here to help! Our board members—and your fellow students—are more than happy to connect with you as you navigate your first semester and year at Dickinson. While we’ll certainly encourage you to come to Hillel events, it’s always helpful to have a friendly face and someone you can lean on. That said, for those who are interested in developing their  leadership, communications, event planning, and budgeting skills the first semester, we have a great opportunity! The First-Year Ambassador Team, or FYAT, is Hillel’s first year board. As a FYAT board member, you’ll get to know other Jewish first-years and help plan events for your peers (like the Hanukkah party!).
