A milestone moment for Denison

As we shared in November, Denison is stepping boldly into its next chapter with the launch of the $400 million What We Can Be campaign. This milestone initiative expands access, strengthens academic excellence, and enriches the student experience — all while building on the momentum alums have helped create. See how this effort is shaping the future of Denison and the lives of today's students.  

Alisa Rosenthal will serve as Denison's next Provost and Chief Academic Officer, effective July 1. She currently serves as Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs at Randolph-Macon College and has been a member of their senior leadership team since 2019. "Alisa is an exceptional academic leader whose deep commitment to a liberal arts education, faculty excellence, and student success aligns powerfully with Denison's mission and aspirations," said President Adam Weinberg.
