Events

We’re glad you have chosen to be part of the Kenyon community and look forward to welcoming you to your new home!

Opening Convocation is the first of the formal ceremonies that frame the academic year at Kenyon.

Drop/add period begins (it ends Sept. 4).

Kenyon will welcome back alumni, families and friends for a "festival for all," including reunions for men’s lacrosse, men’s baseball and women’s softball, and 50 years of the Integrated Program in Humane Studies and also meetings for Alumni Council, the Kenyon Fund Executive Committee and 25th Reunion planners from the Class of 2002.

The 18th annual Sophomore Day will be held in the lower level of Peirce Dining Hall on Oct. 13, 11:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m.

Family Weekend brings more than 1,000 visitors to campus and includes dozens of events including student performances, athletic competitions, panels and campus partner open houses. It is the perfect opportunity to reconnect with students on campus and see first-hand what they’ve been working on during fall semester.

Celebrate both our past and Kenyon today alongside the ritual of new students committing to their (and Kenyon’s) future.

Student residences close at noon on Nov. 21, and re-open Nov. 28.

Kenyon will celebrate the life of Martin Luther King Jr. with a series of events connecting his legacy to current issues that affect the campus and the world.

Residences close on March 6 and re-open March 20.

With speeches from beloved faculty members and honored guests — and traditions that come full-circle like the Senior Sing on the steps of Rosse Hall — Commencement Weekend is an opportunity to celebrate and say farewell to graduating students.

Residences close on Dec. 19 and re-open Jan. 16, 2027.
