The latest in desk décor

If you’re a sports fan, you know The Dan Patrick Show. And if you’re a Dan Patrick fan and a Denison fan, you may have been pretty excited to see a familiar Denison symbol during a recent simulcast: a Denison swim cap. It first appeared in June and has been part of the studio décor for a few weeks now. How did it get there? Turns out, Nancy Duncan Porter, a development officer for the college, began trading emails with the Dan Patrick team back in March in hopes of getting a group of organizational studies students a tour of the studio and a chat with some professionals in the broadcasting and entertainment world. Unfortunately, the show wasn’t equipped to host a tour at the time, but when Duncan Porter sent them the cap, the Dan Patrick team offered up the hat trick as a very cool consolation prize.
