Parents & Families

Welcome to Denison!

We are so excited that you are joining our Denison community. While we work primarily with your students and expect them to take the lead in their college experience, we view parents and families as critical partners in your student’s success. Students often turn to their parents and families for advice and guidance, and we intentionally equip you with information and resources to support your student’s success.

We have multiple points of engagement with families, beginning in the Admission process and continuing through graduation. The summer before your student’s first year, we host Summer Welcome Receptions in many cities around the country to provide you and your student with an opportunity to get to know other students and other families from your area.

We send out the monthly “Denison Family Guide,” which equips you with information, upcoming opportunities, and time-specific conversations to have with your student. We also engage with families during key events like Move-In Day, Family Weekend and during your visits to campus.

So again, welcome to our Denison community! We are so glad you’ve chosen to join us and we’re excited to partner with you in empowering your student’s success.
