Society & Politics From Kenyon News - 7 years ago

Three Cheers

Athletics From Kenyon News - 7 years ago

For most Kenyon students, being recognized once at the College’s annual Honors Day ceremony is impressive. But Sam Clougher ’17 is used to going above and beyond.

Home Sweet Kenyon

By Chris Paludi '20

Student Life From Kenyon News - 7 years ago

Every dorm room at Kenyon starts out pretty much the same, with windows, a bed, some shelves and a few drawers. In fact, if at any point during the summer, you walked into a random room, there wouldn’t be much to distinguish it from the one next door. Until students move in, that is. From the very first day, students get busy decorating and personalizing, carving their names (figuratively, we hope) into the blank space that has become their room. Their home. Their Krib. Due to popular demand, we…
