Our shared values

Denison employees provide a nurturing environment for students to grow and develop into autonomous thinkers, discerning moral agents and engaged citizens. This work is supported by our commitment to a slate of shared values that guide our interactions as faculty and staff.

  • Respect others
  • Act with integrity
  • Express gratitude
  • Invest in relationships
  • Pursue growth and learning

Denison employees are honored for demonstrating these shared values through an employee appreciation program that includes monthly and annual recognition opportunities.

Denison mentorship program

Denison’s staff mentorship program is designed to help new employees make a smooth transition to the university. Peer mentors are matched with new arrivals to help them acclimate to the Denison community and acquaint them with the campus. Employees build relationships with colleagues who answer questions, share insights and help them thrive on The Hill.
