Denison University has named Stephanie Hunt-Theophilus as project coordinator of the newly created Burton D. Morgan Program for Liberal Arts and Entrepreneurship Education.

The new program was created through a grant from The Burton D. Morgan Foundation of Hudson, Ohio.  It brings Denison students a range of educational opportunities and internships through which they can learn about innovation and entrepreneurship.

“We are delighted that Stephanie is joining the Denison staff to coordinate this exciting new program in innovation,” said Dr. Keith Boone, Associate Provost and head of the Program Committee.  “As a liberal arts graduate with a range of professional experiences, she brings to this job a perfect combination of background and enthusiasm.”

Before joining Denison University, Hunt-Theophilus worked in marketing and development consulting with Info-link Technologies, a for-profit information technology services company, and Columbus Christmas in April (Rebuilding Together), a nonprofit social service agency that facilitates free home rehabilitation for low-income homeowners. She also has been the marketing and development director of Music in the Air, a performing arts program of the Columbus Recreation Parks Department.

Hunt-Theophilus is a master’s candidate in cultural and public policy and administration at Ohio State University, where she was a Barnett Fellowship recipient. She is a 1997 cum laude graduate of Carlow College, Pittsburgh, Pa., where she earned her B.A. in communications with a minor in fine arts. She also holds an associate’s degree in visual communications from The Art Institute of Pittsburgh.

Hunt-Theophilus’ current community service includes her role as marketing and development chair for Global Gallery, an organization that promotes fair trade and cultural awareness about third world countries. She has also helped launch public arts projects and events in Newark, Ohio.
