Kenyon has made the difficult decision to postpone its 192nd Commencement ceremony, originally scheduled for May 16, 2020.
While we recognize the importance of ritual in marking life transitions and tradition in strengthening the fabric of community, planning for a large scale event in May would be both impossible and irresponsible, given current projections for the COVID-19 crisis.
Kenyon is actively working with the senior class on plans to announce their degrees from afar at the start of the summer and to celebrate their Commencement on campus at a later date. Read more about plans to celebrate the Class of 2020 on Friday, May 29, at 7 p.m. EDT.
In the meantime, we have closed the registration form for new reservations and will continue to honor cancellations and issue refunds.
We appreciate your understanding as we work to ensure the health and wellbeing of our students, family members, guests and the greater campus community. Thank you.
