The Dyson Scholars in Residence program is an academic experience in
which students live together, take special seminars, and develop community
service projects. DSIR student Khaleel McDonald '20 (pictured), a biology

The Pleasantville Pace Psychology Club won a Community Service Program award
from The National Association of College and University Residence Halls, Inc.,

In summer 2019, nine Dyson students were awarded
funding as part of the Helene and Grant Wilson Center's
