Getting Involved Thriving at DU College is one of the most exciting times in your student’s life. It will be a time of great change and growth. Students will be pushing themselves not only intellectually, but also socially. The staff of the Office of Student Activities wants your student to have the best possible collegiate experience. We understand that a big part of that will depend on your student’s involvement and participation beyond the classroom. With over 100 student organizations for your student to choose from, there is literally something for everyone at DU. DU currently has 7 IFC Fraternities, 1 Multicultural Fraternity, 6 Panhellenic Sororities, 4 Multicultural Sororities, and 2 National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) Fraternities and Sororities. Fall recruitment will be September 25–28, 2015. At the start of the fall quarter, students are invited to attend the Pioneer Carnival — a showcase of the many student groups on campus. Campus Activities wants DU students to be a part of the campus community; we want them to find their niche and be “cool” in whatever way they choose. We also realize that being “cool” may involve something that is not currently offered on campus, so we have a simple process your student can follow to start a new student organization on campus. 4
Starting college can be a challenging transition for any student. Campus Activities wants to make sure your student has the opportunity to feel that they are part of the community they are joining. Our doors are always open and students are always our highest priority. We look forward to meeting your son or daughter and to helping them find their place at DU — beyond the classroom. University of Denver
and
Vision The University of Denver will be a great private university dedicated to the public good. Our students will enjoy an extraordinary education. For more information about specific clubs or organizations on the DU Campus, please visit our website at: du.edu/studentlife/studentactivities.

Student Life Commitment to Diversity
We believe that every person matters. We respect and embrace the uniqueness of identities, gifts, perspectives, histories, and life experiences of all members of our community. We are committed to creating an empowering, accessible, and equitable environment for a plurality of voices by:
6
•
Building relationships through kind words and actions
•
Examining how our actions individually and institutionally affect members of our community
•
Confronting those who speak or act insensitively while inviting challenges to our bias, assumptions, and positions of privilege
•
Taking the time and the risk to build genuine connections with others with whom we do not typically interact
•
Promoting the achievement and support of a diverse student body, staff, and faculty team.
Student Life Mission Statement Student Life serves the public good by creating a dynamic environment that fosters student learning, inspires ethical and caring behavior, champions respect for difference, and cultivates selfawareness and wellness.

Things You Must See When You Visit DU
The Evans Memorial Chapel This beautiful, century-old sandstone chapel, constructed in 1878, is listed in the National Registry of Historic Places. The historic Evans Chapel was moved, brick-bybrick, from its original downtown location at 13th and Bannock to its current location in the center of Harper Humanities Gardens, the heart of campus, in 1960. The move was a popular decision made by the late Chancellor Emeritus Chester M. Alter. Today the Evans Chapel is surrounded by flower gardens, waterfalls, and pools. www.universityparent.com/du

“Whispers” Interactive Outdoor Sculpture Installation Locally renowned sculptor Lawrence Argent created “Whispers” for the University of Denver community in 1999. It consists of many lips placed on the walkway as benches and elevated on pillars surrounding the entry to the Coors Fitness Center and the Gates Field House. Previously recorded university lectures can be heard coming from speakers incorporated into the outdoor sculpture installation daily. Lawrence Argent is perhaps most well known for his creation of the “Big Blue Bear” sculpture that peers into the windows of the Denver Convention Center downtown. 8
DU Carillon The Williams Carillon, dedicated on October 24, 1999, contains 65 bronze bells, which qualifies it as a grand carillon. The largest of these bells weighs six tons. The total weight of the carillon is 64,900 pounds. The carillon, located at the Ritchie Center, is played from a keyboard with wooden manual and pedal keys in a playing cabin located just below the bells. The playing action is entirely mechanical, allowing for musical expression through variation of touch. The carillon provides music for major University events and community concerts. For all who are in listening distance, the artistry of DU Carillonneur Carol Jickling Lens is a distinct pleasure. University of Denver
Newman Center for the Performing Arts The Robert and Judi Newman Center for the Performing Arts strives to provide the highest quality performing arts experiences for faculty, students, performers, and the Colorado community. The Newman Center offers an eclectic mix of emerging artists and seasoned performers, and trains DU music students in the most acoustically sophisticated venues in the region. The Newman Center aims to seduce the senses with an abundance of performances in gracious settings. Taking in a show at the Newman Center is a must for visiting DU parents.
Alter Arboretum and Harper Humanities Garden The Humanities Garden has become the centerpiece of DU’s Alter Arboretum, which is billed as a “living fossil forest� and sports the nearest living relatives of the fossilized plants found in the Rocky Mountains. The Humanities Garden has incorporated some 100 aquatic plants including water lilies, rushes, and wild rice. The garden is an aesthetically beautiful place for the people of DU and the greater community to relax. www.universityparent.com/du

Parent to Parent:
The Summer Before College By Jo Calhoun, Associate Provost for Academic Resources, University of Denver, 2000–2011
Congratulations on your student’s high school graduation! We hope you had a great, celebratory time as a family. Before you know it, you and your student will be headed to DU for the first day of orientation. The summer prior to college can be very challenging emotionally, as both parents and students strain 10
to redefine their relationship to each other. Students’ excitement about a new adventure is paired, under the surface, with sadness about leaving family and friends and with unexpressed fear of change. Parents’ pride is mixed with the painful realization that their child is leaving home and things will never be quite the same in the family system. No wonder that summer before college can be a real roller-coaster ride.
University of Denver
Independence is the primary theme of this stage in your student’s development. At DU our goal is to treat our students as adults; legally, they are adults. We believe in setting our standards high, knowing that our students are likely to step up to meet them. Our goal is to create a civil and diverse community, one that maximizes possibilities for growth among our students. We understand that sometimes our students are 18 years old going on 30, and sometimes they are 18 going on 12. This is a time of such rapid growth and change. (Remember that infancy year from zero to one? It’s like that, only slightly less visible to the naked eye.) Because many students are away from parental supervision for the first time, their first year of college is a time of major stress and demanding self-regulation. The challenges include a new wave of peer pressure, time management challenges, and residential living (lots of people in a small space). At DU we have created a system of challenge and support. We provide as much support as possible to help students be successful, understanding the huge developmental leaps they are making at this age. We make the rules as clear and as reasonable as we can to support an academic community of integrity. Finally, we hold students accountable for their behavior. Before you jump in to
www.universityparent.com/du
rescue, step back and think about the importance of students experiencing the consequences of their decisions — such an important part of growing to be a successful adult.
A Summer To-Do List for Parents and Families •
Make sure to register for Parent/ Family Orientation in September. This orientation session is separate from new student orientation and is designed to answer all your questions and to give you the opportunity to meet many of the DU faculty and staff who will be interacting closely with your student. Visit www.du.edu/ studentlife/Discoveries for registration information.
•
Over the summer, our students will register only for their FirstYear Seminar — don’t forget that the First-Year Seminar registration deadline is July 15th! Students receive a packet of information about FSEM registration in June following their deposit. Why don’t our students register for other courses during the summer? At DU, we want students to work with a faculty mentor before registering for additional courses, so that they can make informed choices.
11
All new students will register for their Fall Quarter courses during Discoveries (new student orientation) Week. This gives students the chance to interact with lots of faculty, upper class students, and staff to answer any questions. Students living on campus do not receive information about their housing assignment until their First-Year Seminar registration is completed. •
12
Before arriving on campus, students should verify that they have all of the updates they need on their laptop computers, by visiting www.du.edu/uts/helpdesk/ newstudent.html. Once students arrive on campus, they will receive information about how to connect to DU wireless.
•
Talk about expectations with your student. Now is a good time. What have you decided about your student having a car on campus? How are finances going to be handled? Will the student open a checking account? What about spending money? How will you get information about your student’s grades? What are your expectations about those grades? How often will you talk by phone? What about alcohol, safety, relationships, or other issues? Talking about these things now can help set clear expectations and facilitate communication regarding tough issues once your student is at DU.
•
Support your student in arranging to have individual needs met. Arranging necessary services for students with a learning disability, mental illness or physical condition is best done before you arrive on campus. DU welcomes students with disabilities and employs a staff with substantial experience in supporting students. Organize documentation and give them ample notice of your students’ needs.
•
Take time to think about your evolving relationship with your student. Just as your student may feel excited, anxious, and fearful about starting college, you may be experiencing similar contradictory feelings as well. This is a period of huge adjustment for you as a parent/family member. Your mixed feelings of joy and sorrow, pride and loss are normal. There will be a void in the family, and some roles may shift — especially if younger siblings are still at home. Think intentionally about how you can support your student’s growing independence. College is the time for your students to begin to advocate for themselves (if they haven’t done so already), and to find their own voice to articulate their needs. University of Denver
