The House Divided Building

Students finally arrived on campus yesterday, ready to start their Knowledge for Freedom experience! After everybody got checked in at the House Divided Studio, they made their way to High Street dorms, their home for the next two weeks. We played two truths and a lie to get to know each other (we all have a lot of car accidents under our belts) and got dinner at the Dickinson’s cafeteria. Students spent the rest of the night socializing and doing their reading for their first class. It looks like the summer is off to a great start!

This summer, we will share daily updates from our undergraduate interns (Andrew, Olivia, and Sarah). These will include information on classes, field trips, and even our ice cream runs. Dickinson has hosted the Knowledge for Freedom Seminar since 2020 with support from the Teagle Foundation in New York. Students will travel to the State Capitol in Harrisburg, the battlefield at Gettysburg, the Old Courthouse in Carlisle, and Washington, D.C. We also offer some programs that will help to acclimate students to college life. It is going to be a great two weeks, and we can’t wait to share more updates with you!
