Each Dickinson College Student is paired up with a high shool student. It is expected that the college student will maintain a one-on-one relationship with the high school student they are paired up with (via phone, internet, and in person). Once a month the high school students are brought to the campus where they will be able to spend time with their mentor, do fun activities (such as skating, bowling etc.), and learn education tools to help them get through school. The Lincoln Intermediate Unit is the organization that bring the high school students from Chambersburg, Harrisburg, Shippenburg and Carlisle to the college. This organization deals with the development of migrand children. For more information visit their unofficial [http://www.dickinson.edu/~jenkinsn/index.html website] by Nsenga Jenkins '07.
