Office of InnovationThe Office of Innovation was created to increase agency for our students, grow educational innovation among professionals and strengthen partnerships across Kent Denver's communities to effectively engage our future.
The Institutes at Kent Denver
The Institutes at Kent Denver are an educational initiative managed by the Office of Innovation. Individual institutes strategically resource intentional areas of education critical to its future. In addition to partnerships with industry professionals, each institute has a restricted endowment to support its work. Kent Denver's three institutes complement our core liberal arts experience by providing enhanced programming, staffing and space in the areas of Entrepreneurship, Technology & Design and Wellness.
