Denison University closing historic student cabins after 50 years
Denison University students will not be able to live in a housing co-op located about a 20 minute walk from campus for the first time in 50 years after a decision by the school. The Homestead, a group of cabins where students chop their own firewood, will close after the spring 2027 semester, Dispatch news partner WCMH/NBC4 reported . Ric Hall, vice president for student life at Denison, said the decision was made due to declining student participation and the need for long-term investment to sustain the program and facility. The decision to close the Homestead had been made several years ago, NBC4 reported, but students have been protesting as the closure nears. The set of cabins have 12 available beds, all of which are occupied this year. Students living in the Homestead have contested the university's assertion that students are not involved and there is limited engagement with the Homestead by campus. The Homestead opened in 1977 as an experiment into environmentally sound living, NBC4 reported. Students who live there tend gardens, use more dated technology for sustainable living and keep chickens. Editor Bethany Bruner can be reached at bbruner@dispatch.com .

I had never imagined myself working as a teacher. I wouldn’t have believed it if someone had told me that growing up.” Today, Hummel teaches engineering and advanced manufacturing at CTEC, Career and Technology Education Centers of Licking County . Before working at CTEC, Hummel was in the U.S. Army Air Defense and worked at Holophane. “I’ve always liked figuring out how things worked, building or repairing anything I could, and working with my hands," he said. "When I started working at Holophane, I got to be part of the glass manufacturing process. When I was able to move over to the mold shop and went through my mold and diemaker apprenticeship program, I was able to learn manual and CNC machining, CAD/CAM, metallurgy, and other skills that led into the class I teach at CTEC.” Hummel, 35, grew up near Hanover and graduated from Licking Valley High School in 2010.
