Denison 101

Need some extra cash or experience? Getting a campus job is easier than you think! Evelyn and Julia share how students often find jobs on Denison’s campus.

You can find a job on campus through job search platforms like Handshake, help-wanted posters in campus buildings, and through your connections with professors, university staff, and your fellow students. Hint: think of the buildings and facilities you spend the most time in anyway!

Your academic advisor is your go-to guide for all things college — and at Denison, you’ll have the unique experience of a faculty member as an advisor. 

A college academic advisor is with you every step of the way on your academic journey. They can offer guidance on your prospective career, lend a hand with course registration, or serve as a sounding board when final exams are stressing you out. In short, college academic advisors are a great resource you should take advantage of.

Finding a mentor in college is essential to get the most from your college experience. A mentor can be your advisor, a faculty member you connect with, a coach, or career-center staffer. And you don’t have to limit yourself to just one.

Curious about health, exercise, and sport studies? Julia breaks down the HESS major at Denison, sharing her personal experience majoring in HESS.

Think an English major is just about reading books? Think again! Evelyn taps into her experience to explain how the English major at Denison teaches writing, analysis, and how it connects to a global perspective — skills you can use in almost any career.

Changing your major isn’t as hard as you might think. At Denison, you don’t have to declare a major until the second semester of your sophomore year, but you aren’t locked in if you decide to change things up later on. Drop a major, gain a major, add a minor. The process isn’t complicated, especially with guidance from your advisor.
