Join Us
Members of the Kenyon community are invited to celebrate this milestone year at a variety of regional and on-campus events, including Reunion Weekend May 23-26 and Founders’ Day Oct. 24. Guests will have the opportunity to sign the Bicentennial Book at each event they attend. Taking a figurative page from the Matriculation Book, this commemorative tome will document the participants at each occasion for posterity.
