1831 Day 2025

It’s Denison’s 194th birthday — 1831 Day — and Buzzy the Buzzard is getting ready for the big celebration. While preparing, Buzzy takes a sentimental journey through Denison’s history, flipping through a photo album filled with memories — and in every era, there he is and there are Denisonians partnering to strengthen all that makes Denison extraordinary. From scholarships, classroom innovations, and career exploration to student programming, our lifelong alumni network, and the immediacy of the Denison Annual Fund, every gift fuels the opportunities that shape today’s students.

1831 Day is more than a birthday or tradition — it’s a chance to celebrate how far we’ve come and to invest in what comes next. Together, we ensure Denison continues to transform lives for generations to come.
