- School Information
- "1) We come to Gambier, Ohio, from every region of the country and corner of the globe to focus on very big things in a small, wide-open space. 2) We invented the model of professors serving as academic advisors, because when teaching and mentoring go hand-in-hand, Kenyon students come out on top. 3) We believe that good writing is good thinking, and that the ability to put words to ideas moves us closer to a shared understanding." The college enrolls over 1,700 students, as well as offering 50 majors, minors, and concentrations.

New “Resource Advisory Committee” will review community proposals for anti-racism initiatives and determine the allocation of Collee funds towards anti-racism initiatives.

The College's Anti-Racism Resource Advisory Committee " has evaluated and funded four anti-racism proposals from the fall semester, submitted by members of the Kenyon community, and is anticipating at least two more in the near future. They are actively encouraging more project proposals, which may include educational activities or funding toward research projects," according to the Kenyon Collegian.
