Work in Progress
In April, Denison announced that the Austin E. Knowlton Foundation pledged a gift of $9.3 million to support Denison’s work to create the benchmark program for helping students to transition from the liberal arts into the professions. The gift will create a permanent endowment to support the college’s Center for Career Exploration, which has been renamed “The Austin E. Knowlton Center for Career Exploration.” For more information, visit go.denison.edu/knowlton-career-gift.

X-Ray Vision
The National Science Foundation has awarded a grant of more than $105,000 to Denison for support of research by members of the Denison chemistry faculty. The funds will be used to purchase a powder X-ray diffractometer (XRD) system, which will enhance research capabilities for both faculty and students, allowing them insights into the molecularlevel organization of solid materials.
