The Campus Calendar and News sections on the Home page of MyDenison have swapped spots. This was done to make the Campus Calendar more of a focal point for campus activities. We have been gathering feedback in an effort to make MyDenison THE place for information and communication on campus. Be on the lookout for more surveys and changes coming soon! Your feedback is valued.
Thanks,
ITS
