Sunday was a quieter day for the students. They mostly just worked on their essays and videos. Luckily the weather was good and the wildfire smoke had cleared, so everybody got to spend some time outside. Many students also grabbed a coffee or smoothie at Denim. Overall, it was another great day at the House Divided Seminar.

On their second day at campus, the students really got into the groove of things here at Dickinson! After an exciting lecture on the American Revolution and the Declaration of Independence, the students went on a tour of the Cumberland County Historical Society! During the tour, the students learned the importance of local history and viewed cool historical artifacts such as a letter from Alexander Hamilton, one of Molly Pitcher’s pitchers, and a great many antique clocks.

After returning to campus, students participated in a seminar on college admissions and learned the best strategies to get into their preferred school. In the evening after group dinner in the caf, the students brought the complicated Abraham Lincoln puzzle at least halfway to completion and also enjoyed the Home Run Derby yet again. Everybody got some rest in before our busy day visiting the Pennsylvania State Capital in Harrisburg tomorrow.

Hello everybody and welcome to Carlisle, PA! Our names are Sarah, James, and Katelyn and we are excited to be your program mentors and help you with research and writing. We’re also here to show you the ropes on campus, so if you have any questions, feel free to check in and ask!
If you’re looking for some cool places on campus, our personal favorite spot is Denny Hall where you guys will be having your lectures. It’s a great building when you need somewhere quiet to write and study. If you’re lucky, you might even see some paranormal activity, since Denny is one of the most historic and haunted buildings on campus!

Another great thing to do on campus is relax on the red lawn chairs out on the Academic Quad! If you want to get some fresh air and watch the world pass by, sitting on the quad outside Old West is a great way to spend your time.
