Office of Residential Life

All first-year buildings are designated alcohol-free environments.  The possession and use of alcohol is prohibited.  

Denison's Substance and Other Drug-Free communities are designed to ensure an environment where residents can actively participate in a lifestyle and activities that support a substance and other drug-free philosophy. Students opting to live in this type of environment show their commitment to substance and other drug-free living by participating at floor programs, managing their own behavior and confronting others' inappropriate behavior as it relates to substance and illegal drug use.

These students agree to the following:

• No substance or illegal drugs will be brought to a Substance and Other Drug-Free Environment by my guest/visitor(s), any other person(s) or me.
• He/she will not be involved with any substance or illegal drug incidents while living in a Substance and Other Drug Free Environment.
• He/she will not enter a Substance and other Drug-Free Environment in an intoxicated state.

Students who choose to live in a a quiet environment agree to make a positive personal commitment to maintain the community norms and values as established by Denison University. These students understand that they, as well as their guests, are expected to abide by and uphold the quiet hours established for this community. Quiet hours are in effect at all times with the following exceptions: Sunday-Thursday, 4-7pm; Friday and Saturday, 4pm-1am. These hours are referred to as "courtesy hours" in which students are still expected to be respectful of others.

Non-designated buildings carry no specific restrictions.  However, students residing in non-designated buildings are expected to abide by the student code of conduct at all time.

This community is centered on community service, service-learning and reflecting upon its impact to you and the community we live in.  Previous community service (or service-learning) experience is not required.  Rather we are looking for individuals who value service and want to be a member of a larger community.  The mission of Morrow House is to create a community of residents who are engaged in service and service-learning.  Service-learning is education designed to promote student learning and active engagement in the greater community.  Service projects that respond to a community need and     active reflection are integral to this form of learning.  Through hands-on experience and engagement, Morrow residents will learn about social justice   issues and about their place in the    larger society.  Service-learning will form an important component of the resident’s shared experience.
