During her keynote speech at Reunion Weekend 2024, U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Bridget Brink '91 encouraged us all to keep paying attention to the war in Ukraine. With that mission in mind and knowing that, in addition to Ukrainians, there are communities across the globe in need of books, Kenyon's Generosity Project is accepting donations of books during the months of September and October to distribute in partnership with the International Book Project. Read on to learn how you can get involved.
