They’re not all crunchy or preppy or edgy or geeky or Greeky or jocks—they’re not all anything, except that they’re all individuals, and they’re all learning from each other. They have some things in common, and they have a lot that’s unique to their own life experiences. Sometimes they overlap; other times they blaze their own trails. It’s a community of difference — and that makes all the difference.
Fostering a diverse community is central to Denison’s mission as a liberal arts college. Engagement with — and challenge from — multiple, differing perspectives are incubators of critical thinking and social responsibility.
Diversity plays a particularly important role at Denison — where classes are small, where a fully residential campus places students constantly together in living as well as learning, and where a multiplicity of campus-based opportunities in student organizational life, athletics and recreation, and social service allow students to share personal growth experiences.
At Denison, diversity of background and experience is shared first-hand.
