I love Denison Everywhere! Steve Crawford (we have such a fun figure eight relationship) launched this in the Alumni office way back when, over 20 years ago...and it has blossomed. Gary Fleisner now leads it and I value his partnership. I've blogged about it before as I truly find each one amazing- no one better than the other- Licking County (local), Boston, Chicago, two in the Bay Area last year on the same day and of course the year I did two cities thanks to snow and experienced Charlotte for the first time, impromptu and I've been going back to that city for work ever since....this year..HAWAII!
Where will you go Denisonians? Friends, family, alum, admitted student families...it is such an inclusive, special fun event for our fair college on the hill and our lives on Newark-Granville Road!
Matt Stoner is helping again in Orlando- thank you!
Parent and Families are activily involved- thank you! In fact another great destiation approach is Puerto Rico: https://engage.denison.edu/e/denison-everywhere-san-juan-puerto-rico/ Fellow Denisonian and Mercerburgians (??) are hosting in the

Feb 1, 2026 Update:
We did it- yay Gary and Denison team and all the hosts....and participants!! 107 locations around the world!! Woo Hoo...Honolulu's was a blast and I'm glad I took the vacation time in Hawaii..I missed Charlotte, Chicago, San Fran, Boston...Utah...where to go- never easy to decide as DU parents are EVERYWHERE...so this year it was great be an alum and partner with Charlotte! Amy G's advice to vetnure beyond Waikiki was spot on and our location so lovely! We're grateful to each person that made it to ours for a group of 18! Class of 1968, 1976-we toasted his 50th reunion, the connection of Denisonians remeeting from high school with many connections, young alums and guets, great conversation and questions and a great deal of pride in our alma mater- or their kids alma mater! We loved watching the first DE in Australia, and the other pics post, news from Granville and Joe at the Lot, then ours...the last- okay one of the last another Hawaii Island had an event too!! I loved that Dave and Kara Owens - my era alums and recent parents- surprised me- they were on vacation and joined us!! Woo Hoo- let's launch Denison Everywhere Destination!! I'm thinking next year I'm in Puerto Rico?!! Stay tuned....
