The Ratcliffe Innovation Consultants (RIC) Program, represents a strategic effort to enhance and centralize Baldwin Wallace (BW) University’s professionally-led, student-supported consulting services by bringing together four existing programs: the Ratcliffe Growth Practice, the Digital Marketing Center, the Hive Design Group, and the Community Research Institute. Our goal is to prepare the next generation of innovators through community-focused projects and partnerships with businesses, elected officials, and community leaders that result in long-term, sustainable economic growth. This coalition will significantly enhance student impact, enabling more students across all majors and disciplines to participate in meaningful consulting work. This enriches our students’ learning experiences and better prepares them for future careers, whether within existing businesses or as entrepreneurs.
“The Ratcliffe Foundation has facilitated powerful and meaningful conversations with other organizations, and we’re excited to continue building those connections and working together.”
