The name and a brief description of each student group:
EarthNow promotes environmental awareness on campus, in the community, and around the world. Members help Dickinson to make environmentally sound choices, educate elementary school students, and take part in environmental issue campaigns.
The Idea Fund provides money to support student-innovators who design projects to enhance the social and environmental atmosphere of Dickinson College. We believe access to monetary resources enables and encourages creative and entrepreneurial activity and helps realize and engage our commitment to a useful education in the liberal arts.
