Love Letter to Denison

By Alex Lazo Before I ever even got to Denison, I was adamant about transferring after the first semester – the first year if I really had to stay that long. My sister was a Junior and as much as I love her, I did not want to have to go through another cycle of…

Denison’s Relationship with Religion

By Alex Lazo [Photo courtesy of Taby Arthur Fogg] Although it has been a few weeks since Easter has passed, I have found that with the school year winding down, and the Instagram semester-dump posts surging up, the pictures from Easter are still flooding my feed – because nothing says Denison quite like a darty…

How do Denison Students View Working in the Public Sector?

By Will Duquette It is no secret that many Denison alumni have high-paying jobs in the private sector. Of course, some students choose a public sector job, which typically commands a smaller salary. Given the frequent and massive pay disparity between the two and the polarization that plagues American democracy, I was curious if Denison…

Hoaglin’s Impact on the Trajectory of Student Health

By Alex Lazo Throughout my college career, I have always known Denison to be doing construction. And although it is definitely an eye sore, an inconvenience to motorists, and sometimes an abysmal failure (e.g., the Moonies), I do appreciate Denison’s proclivity to constantly self-improve. One of Denison’s newest editions and success stories is the Ann…

How Many Students are in Long-Distance Relationships?

By Paul A. Djupe Lots of things change once you arrive on campus. One of them, as the conventional wisdom goes, is that relationship from the last bits of high school. That’s especially true when the college you attend is out of state – time and space put strains on relationships, especially when there’s a…

How do Denison Students View the Majors of Other Students?

By Will Duquette Denison serves students from all walks of life and from all around the world.

We hope to see what students think of…

What do Denisonians Think of DCGA

By Paul A. Djupe When Alex Pan asks you to do something, you say yes. So, when President Pan reached out after the lacrosse article generated some interest, I thought it was time to give the same coverage to DCGA. 127 surveys have asked about feelings toward student government off and on for some years,…

What do Denisonians Think of Smoking and Vaping?

By Will Duquette Smoking has undeniably decreased across the United States over the last few decades, with smoking among young adults decreasing from 35% in 2001-2003 to 12% in 2019-2022. However, in the wake of smoking’s downfall, vaping has increased dramatically. Most would agree that both hobbies are unquestionably bad for you. But anyone who…

Is Housing Denison’s Downfall?

By Alex Lazo Earlier this year my class had a discussion about what we felt Denison’s greatest issues were. The unanimous answer was the administration, and how their policies actually work against the best interest and development of their students. Virtually all of my classmates were able to recount a personal experience in which they…

Are Denisonians in a Political Bubble

By Miles D. Williams and Paul A. Djupe – WE ARE DPR College students often get knocked for being out of touch, isolated on their pretty campuses inside a political bubble only talking with people who agree with them. Some students claim to be in a bubble themselves and that it needs to be popped….

Know What’s Causing Your Congestion? It Might Be Right in Front of You

By Owen Baker As you begin to turn off fans, close windows, and toast in your rooms from the heating, is Sudafed becoming your main medicine? We seem to be consistently congested in the fall and winter months of our Denison careers. We brush it off, saying it was because of “frat flu” or COVID—but…

How do Denisonians Feel about Lacrosse on Campus

By Paul A. Djupe Many sports do not have strong demographic connotations. Football, baseball, basketball, and soccer are all interracial and span social classes. But lacrosse, like yachting or equestrian, would seem to say a lot about the participants. The Salt Lake Tribune headline says it all, “Lacrosse is known as a sport played by…
