On its website, Dickinson states that it is committed to preparing young people for "engaged lives of citizenship and leadership in the service of society", is "unafraid to take risks, to speak out on important issues", and "remains[s] decisive and competitive and committed to its own brand of the liberal arts..."
Dickinson's goal of preparing young adults to be leaders and to speak out concerning important issues, no matter how risky, fosters an environment for social action. As a result, Dickinson supports a variety of organizations that address social issues, and, in addition, there are many other non-social action groups that are involved in social justice. In order to learn more about Dickinson's involvement in social action, we conducted a survey to find out what the organizations on campus are doing, how they percieved their effectiveness, and what improvements and or/changes they would like to see in Dickinson's social action community. The following pages are a reflection of the results we found.
