If a student must cancel their attendance for any reason, they must notify Suzy Biever (bievergr@dickinson.edu) as soon as possible so that their spot may be offered to another waitlisted student.

An updated resume. It is strongly recommended that students meet with a career pathway advisor for resume help.
