But for several weeks every summer, over 200 high school students from across the country and around the world converge in Gambier to rediscover the art of writing by hand.  At the Kenyon Review Young Writers Workshop, laptops are stowed away as rising high school juniors and seniors jot, scratch and scribble away with ink and paper, composing couplets in wood-paneled classrooms or drafting…

Fighting for Democracy

Kenyon in the World From Kenyon News - 5 years ago

After Venezuelan opposition figure Leopoldo López ’93 H’07 led anti-government demonstrations in early 2014, Venezuelan authorities accused him of inciting unrest and issued a warrant for his arrest. They gave López a choice, as he detailed in a 2014 letter to the Kenyon community: He could leave the country. He could go into hiding. Or, he could turn himself in to a judicial system he knew would not be fair or just.  He chose the last, presenting himself to authorities after an emotional public…

Ready for Research

Kenyon in the World From Kenyon News - 5 years ago
