Dear Senior Families,
We hope you have been enjoying your summer! We are excited to welcome your student back to campus in a couple of weeks for their senior year.
As a reminder, our monthly Denison Family Guides aim to keep you informed about resources and opportunities for your students to engage in. We hope that you can help reinforce the messages we share with your student. We also share opportunities for you to engage—whether through a reception in a city near you, a virtual event, or an event on-campus. Families are a vital part of the Denison community, and we hope to see you at our events, both in Granville and beyond.
We look forward to reconnecting with you throughout the year, and we hope to see you on campus at Family Weekend (Sept. 27 - 29).

Director of Family Engagement

Beyond The Hill Summer Series |
Denison’s Beyond The Hill series this summer was a chance for area Denisonians to focus on career development and connection in New York City, Washington, D.C., and Chicago for two days in June. The first evening featured fun city excursions: New York Mets vs. Yankees at Citi Field, Topgolf in Washington, D.C., and a river boat cruise in Chicago. During the second day, current students and young alums participated in interactive workshops designed to expand their network and intentionally design the next part of their career. Career coaches from the Knowlton Center were also available in-person to have a 1-1 appointment to discuss career paths.
