Davis & Elkins College prepares for an abundant summer schedule with its new Coordinator of Campus & Community Events Carlie Dickens.  She brings to the College nearly a decade of professional involvement in educational environments.

Dickens joins D&E with a background in both marketing and teaching, earning her Bachelor of Arts degree from Fresno Pacific University.  She comes to campus with experiences granting knowledge spanning the coasts of the United States.

“I am so excited to be part of the team here at D&E, where we have the privilege of hosting unforgettable events across the College campus,” says Dickens.  “Our venues are so beautiful, charming, and historic, and it has been wonderful to see them appreciated by the Elkins community.  I’m looking forward to working with the community to build experiences that celebrate milestones and create memories.”

Dickens has excelled in previous roles by maintaining oversight and organization of projects, delegating responsibilities effectively in team settings, and facilitating the development of myriad professional materials.

“We launched the search with aspirations to create a new position for D&E,” says Director of Dining Services Jim Butler.  “The vision was for someone that could extend awareness of what D&E can provide to the community and help the community take advantage of all D&E has to offer.  Carlie has shouldered that mantle and much more in her time with us, and it’s exciting to have her as part of our team.”
