There are two things Ben Gettinger credits for his success today from his time at Hilliard Schools. First, being part of the lacrosse team, which he said helped him grow and mature as a human, and second, being a staff member of the school newspaper.
“Working on the school paper helped me build leadership skills and gain visibility to other people within the school,” he said.
A 1997 graduate of Davidson High School, Gettinger earned a degree in MIS and marketing from Miami University before heading off to the Windy City. Today, he lives in Denver, Colorado, with his family, where he works in business development for Accenture, a leading global professional services company that helps businesses, governments and other organizations build their digital core.
He is thankful to have gotten his educational foundation in what he calls a “great community with a lot of caring individuals.”
