Professor of Biology Kathryn Edwards was honored during an event, “Celebration of Women in Science at Kenyon College,” on Saturday, March 25, 2017.
Edwards began teaching at Kenyon in 1978 and concluded her career at the end of the 2016-17 academic year.
The day’s events included a lunch with students featuring a reflection on the early years of women at Kenyon and two afternoon panels. One panel, "Transformation of Women Faculty at Kenyon," featured former faculty members Joan Cadden, Rita Kipp and others. The other panel, "Kenyon Women at Work: Building Careers in Science," featured alumnae who have embarked on careers in the sciences. A networking event with students and public reception rounded out the day’s events.
