“The College's identity is very much set in the rural setting in which it exists…We wanted to make sure we protected that setting.” - Amy Henricksen, director of the Philander Chase Conservancy
With the population of central Ohio expected to grow, sprawl could expand beyond the suburbs into rural areas. This could damage the landscape and natural habitats.

“Black people have lived throughout rural America from the very earliest times,” [Prof. Ric] Sheffield said. “And yet, the perception is that we haven't, we don't, and ‘What in the world are we doing there?’” https://t.co/dfj8KJ9Qz8

“We're talking about the present conflicts, but we're talking about it by way of the ancient past [which] creates enough of a buffer where people can hear each other's perspective,” Bryan Doerries ’98 H’17, artistic director @TheaterofWar

Ohio’s voting laws limit out-of-state students’ options. @KenyonCSAD’s Nancy Powers spoke with @insidehighered about the critical importance of educating young voters and helping them become more comfortable with the process. https://t.co/UHvuYeDT8v

Dozens of restrictive laws passed since 2020 could impact student voters this year, from shortened timelines for absentee ballots to new restrictions on using student IDs.

Jacob Yandura, composer of the 2023 Broadway musical How to Dance in Ohio, talks about growing up in Columbus, supporting Ohio's autistic community, and celebrating Pride as a gay man.
“And then someone said, ‘You should look at Kenyon.’ And my mom and I made a trip, and I ended up applying early decision. I just fell in love with it—fell in love with the community there... it just, it felt creative, you know? And it was the best decision I had ever made.”
