New staff for the New Year

Ian Dickson (Kappa Delta ‘21)

Hi, my name is Ian Dickson. I recently graduated from George Mason University in the spring of 2021 (Kappa Delta Chapter) with my B.S. in Marketing.

I Have lived in Northern Virginia pretty much my entire life since moving from France when I was baby. In my downtime I love to work on creative projects, and am currently a freelance motion graphics animator. When I’m not working at Zeta Psi, I am a marketing Manager for a mid-size software start-up based in the Metro-DC area doing general marketing research, animation, and social media management. Looking forward to bringing my skill sets to help improve Zeta Psi and bring it to its fullest potential!
