Mission and Staff
The Support Services Group supports Denison University's academic mission by providing a single point of contact to resolve all issues related to computer use anywhere on campus.
Support Staff
Help Desk Technicians are the professional staff at the Help Desk and supervise the student Help Desk Assistants. They are the first point of contact and the first level of support for questions and problems about computing anywhere on campus. They are located at the Help Desk in the Fellows Hall lobby. They can be reached by phone at x6395 or by email, helpdesk@denison.edu. If you receive the Help Desk voicemail, please leave your name, phone number and a short message so a member of the Help Desk can contact you.
Academic year hours are 8:00 am to midnight, Monday through Thursday, 8:00 am to 6:00 pm Friday, noon to 6:00 pm Saturday, and noon to midnight Sunday.
