Key to the success of UC Merced's New Student Dens is making sure our Den Guides, Den Assistants, and other contributors have access to the support they need to lead healthy and engaging virtual communities. The Den Support page is an aggregator of events, materials, and resources intended for the internal operations of the Student Den Program. By providing a common framework for sharing content to our den support community, this page enables access and discovery of information to maximize cohesion across our many dens.
