Start Something. Something real. Something in you. No pat answers, no ten-easy steps. We're talking powerful conversations. Being pushed and asked to go deeper. Daring to be real, to say who you are, what you are about, how you want to lead. Start something that all starts with you.

CATALYST: choose. connect. commit.

Catalyst is FREE to all students who are selected and attend Catalyst, however students must submit a refundable deposit to the Student Activities Office, 200 Slayter Union. Upon selection, applicants must submit a check made payable to Denison University in the amount of $50 to the Student Activities Office. This check will not be deposited  unless a student who accepts his or her participation in the program cancels or fails to attend Catalyst.
