On Tuesday, students participated in lectures by Professor Mealy and Professor Pinsker before going on a short field trip to the Cumberland County Historical Society. The group stopped at some of Carlisle’s historical markers on the walk over to discuss topics such as the American Revolution and Whiskey Rebellion.

At the CCHS museum, students explored the impressive permanent exhibit featuring artifacts from the Carlisle Indian Industrial School (1879-1918) and many other Cumberland County artifacts from the 18th century onward. Later that afternoon, Dickinson Admissions Counselor Kristina Lang led an information session about college admissions and answered questions on the college application process. The day concluded out on the grass where students played football, volleyball, and cornhole.
