Meeting the Challenge

By Sean Decatur

That's So Kenyon From Kenyon News - 9 years ago

Like most obsessive, long-suffering Cleveland sports fans, I have been closely following the dramatic NBA playoff run of the Cleveland Cavaliers. The drama surrounding the team has been thrilling for much of the past year: the return of LeBron James, mid-season trades, playoff injuries to Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving, and hard-fought playoff victories inspired in part by the scrappy play of Matthew Dellavedova — now displacing Olivia Newton-John as my favorite Australian celebrity. Fitting, it seems…

The Art of Analysis

General Kenyon From Kenyon News - 9 years ago

While economics and studio art may seem like an incongruous double major, it is not an odd coupling for Grace Janzow ’15, who believes her focus on each interest helped her land a job with the financial services firm JPMorgan Chase & Co. in Columbus, Ohio. “Everybody says that art and economics are such a bizarre combination, but they worked both sides of my brain — my right side for creativity and my left side for logic and analysis,” Janzow said. “I believe that was something Chase valued: the…

49 Summer Reads

That's So Kenyon From The Kenyon Review - 9 years ago

“It is what you read when you don’t have to that determines what you will be when you can’t help it.”      —Oscar Wilde What is summer reading, after all, if not “what we read when we don’t have to” — because it sounds intriguing, because we’ve always wanted to, because the kids are at camp, because there’s an hour yet until a lazy dinner, or just because. Looking for inspiration? Take it from the bookshelves of our ever-reading staff: David Lynn '76, Editor Citizen: An American Lyric by Claudia…
