- School Information
- "As one of the nation’s leading liberal arts colleges, Denison University boasts generations of students who can attest to its effect on their lives. Each would cite a different reason. And they’d all be right because Denison’s liberal arts tradition and residential community create a college of endless personal possibilities." The university enrolls over 2,300 undergraduates, employs over 230 faculty, and has 54 academic programs. (Source: https://denison.edu/campus/about/fast-facts)

HR will have a new staff orientation program ready by the start of the second semester."

The "Dean of First-Year Students will review our current programing and provide recommendations on how we can help those joining our community understand our values and give them the skills to act on them. He will share a draft plan by the end of the fall semester so we can implement any changes for next year’s incoming class."
