Dean College Alumni

Dean College alumni - we still have a few spots available for local alumni who would like to introduce the Dean community to their business or organization while helping us welcome students back for another exciting year!

Join us for the Franklin Community Connections Fair on Monday, August 31, from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. It’s a great opportunity to meet students, share what you do, and showcase the many businesses and organizations that make Franklin such a special community. We’d love to see Dean alumni represented and to show our students just how strong the Dean network is right here in Franklin!

Dean alumni – especially our business owners, entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, and local professionals – come back to campus for Career Services’ Franklin Community Connections Fair on Monday, August 31 from 11:00 AM–1:00 PM on Awpie Way.

This is a great chance to welcome students back to campus, introduce them to your business or organization, and share local resources, student discounts, volunteer opportunities, part-time jobs, internships, or favorite Franklin spots.

There is no registration fee. Participating organizations are encouraged to bring new or gently used professional clothing for the Dean College Career Closet. Scan the QR code for more information and to register by Wednesday, August 26.

I’d love to see Dean alumni represented, and I know our students would, too!

We love seeing opportunities that bring alumni back to Dean, not just to visit but to grow. This June, the Joan Phelps Palladino School of Dance is offering a one-week intensive: Mettler-based Dance Improvisation - Practice and Pedagogy, led by Dr. Mary Ann Brehm.

For our dance alumni this is a rare chance to return to campus, study with a master teacher, and deepen your practice in a meaningful way. Read more to see if this opportunity speaks to you - enrollment is limited.
