Here are three things to know about Kenyon.

1) You’ll find us in Gambier, Ohio, a place that’s a bit off the beaten path but a vital part of who we are. 2) We didn’t just perfect faculty advising — we invented it. The model of professors serving as academic advisors started at Kenyon. 3) We believe that good writing is good thinking, and that the ability to put words to ideas moves us closer to shared understanding.

 

The kind of place that can feel like the heart of the universe … when you picture a college, you see a place like Kenyon.
