Advising is here for you, no matter where you are.
Our career and graduate school advisors help you explore options, clarify your goals, plan a strategy, then execute it no matter what stage of the career development process you're in. Oh, and this service is offered for life.

Advising for Life
Need to talk to someone after graduation? We're still here for you! Advising at Kenyon is a lifetime commitment, whether you're moving somewhere new, applying to medical school, negotiating a new job — we're here for all of it.
Advising for Graduate School
Pre-Health Advising
We have you covered. Medical school, nursing, DO vs MD — there's a lot to unpack for health graduate programs. We're ready for you.
Graduate School Advising
About 25% of our graduates go directly to graduate school in some form. So naturally we create supports for that path.
Fellowships
Kenyon produces a lot of fellowship award winners. Like, a lot a lot. Maybe it’s because living in Gambier is a bit like living in a foreign country, or maybe it’s because we have terrific advising? (It’s actually because we have excellent students.)
