Where Dean Memories and Milestones Meet

Come home to Dean this fall to reconnect with old friends and rediscover the place that helped shape who you are today. Whether it’s been a few years or decades since you’ve been back, this is your chance to walk the campus again, see what’s new, and share your Bulldog and Demon pride with those who matter most. Bring your loved ones, reminisce, and make new memories along the way.

Healing Paths:

Alumni Who Found Their Calling in Mental Health

Though their paths began decades apart, Michele Sessa ’19 and

Wendy (Buck) Leeds ’71 share a common thread: a Dean education

that nurtured resilience, confidence, and a lifelong

commitment to helping others through therapy.

Shared Itineraries: Alumni in Motion

Connect across borders and generations.


We’re excited to soon launch a new way to explore the world: The Dean Alumni Travel Program. In partnership with Dean’s School of Liberal Arts and Sciences, we are inviting alumni to participate in unforgettable trips that combine cultural discovery with the unique connection of traveling alongside students in the Honors History Program. Whether you're dreaming of ancient ruins or natural wonders, these trips are a great match for alumni who value their Dean community, lifelong learning, and meaningful adventure.


Interested in learning more as the program develops with opportunities beginning in the spring?

Email Joanne Coluccio at alumni@dean.edu to be among the first to hear about tours to Greece and Iceland.
