Denison student-consultants tackle real-life business problems
Denison’s Red Frame Lab consulting program is coming off a banner fall 2023 semester, when teams of students worked with corporate clients to build better businesses, from battery technology to fast-food industries.
This innovative initiative was born of necessity in 2020 when traditional internships dried up during the pandemic. Denison sought to provide students with real-world opportunities. Now, a few years later, the concept has proven wildly popular among clients and Denison students, with 30 students currently on a waiting list. Read more about the students’ work with OnPoint Warranty Solutions, NC4K, Wendy's International, an out-of-state battery technology company, and Bailey Bug.

Make the Most of Increased Charitable Gift Annuity Rates
| |
Did you know? A charitable gift annuity is a way to support Denison while earning a tax deduction the year of your contribution and fixed payments to you or two individuals you select. Recommended rates just increased at the start of this year, so this is a great time to explore CGA benefits. Please contact the Office of Gift Planning at 740-578-5023 or giftplanning@denison.edu to receive a free, personalized, no-obligation recommendation. (Per policy, Denison doesn’t issue CGAs in all states, the minimum age to start receiving payments is 60, the minimum gift amount is $10,000, and all deferred-payments annuitants must be 50 years old at time of signing.)
