The participant completed the Fall 2023 DxD Intensives program, a collaboration between Delta Dental of California, the nation’s leading provider of dental insurance, and Lehman College, the City University of New York's only four-year college in the Bronx, serving the borough and surrounding region as an intellectual, economic, and cultural center.

‍

Coursework in Fall 2023 centered around the challenge: How might we redesign the Delta Dental Provider Search experience so that patients can find the Dentist that is right for their needs? The program provided student participants with mentorship from and collaboration with cross-function industry mentors, the beginnings of a professional network, and a fully applicable and transferable project for their portfolios.

Participants spent the semester generating product ideas, addressing user experiences and constraints, and designing and refining solutions with their Delta Dental Mentors.
