Ready for Reunion
From Kenyon News - May 19, 2015
Campus will be buzzing with activity this weekend as alumni return to the Hill for Reunion Weekend. More than 1,300 people from 46 states are expected — which would be record attendance, according to Scott R. Baker ’94, director of alumni and parent programs.
“It’s thrilling to have such great attendance during one of the most beautiful times of the year at Kenyon. We’re looking forward to celebrating with everyone,” Baker said, adding that this year’s event hosts classes ending in years zero and five, from 1965 to 2010.
The Chamber Singers, the College’s a cappella choir, is celebrating its affinity reunion this year, which always brings in large numbers, Baker said. Chamber Singers alumni will perform a concert Saturday, May 23, at 9 p.m. in Rosse Hall.
Other notable activities for the weekend include:
- Welcoming Shabbat at the new Rothenberg Hillel House Friday at 5 p.m.
- Walking tour of the ghosts of Kenyon with Tim Shutt, professor of humanities, Friday at 8:30 p.m.
