Student Life
The Office of Student Life
The Student Life team, consisting of the Dean of Students, Student Life Coordinator, and numerous
dedicated student volunteers, is committed to supporting student success by providing a variety of
assistive and developmental resources and by curating environments wherein students can
experience meaningful community while completing their degree program.
Communication and Marketing to Students
Student Life functions as the primary voice to the student body for communicating information about
events, activities, resources and benefits. Students are encouraged to regularly check their Denver
Seminary email account, as it is the official medium the Seminary utilizes to communicate. Students
are responsible for information delivered to their seminary email, and the IT Helpdesk should be
contacted if complications arise.
Along with the Seminary's weekly e-newsletter called Campus News, other means of communication
to the student body utilized by Student Life include digital display monitors, bulletin boards in the
Student Center, announcements in chapel, direct emails, text messages, and social media. It is the
discretion of the Department of Student Life as to which of these methods are utilized at any given
time.
Inquiries for utilizing any of the above methods for communicating to students should be submitted
to Student Life.
Student Resources and Services
Student Life maintains a variety of assistive and developmental resources and services to help
students complete their program. The entire portfolio of these resources and services can be found
on the Student Life Resources website.
Career Services and Strengths Assessment
Student Life provides assistance and resources to students desiring to better equip themselves for
gaining employment and assessing their strengths and/or personality type. For more information

Counseling with Professional Christian Counselors
The Department of Student Life has made arrangements with local Christian counselors to provide a
limited number of counseling sessions for seminary students and/or their family members at a
discounted rate. Student Life holds student privacy in the highest regard, and the identities of those
who inquire about this resource will remain private. Students may obtain more information about
this service on the Student Life Resources website or by contacting the Student Life Coordinator or
Dean of Students.
