Every April, the Kenyon community gathers to honor academic achievement, community service and leadership, with the awarding of department and college-wide prizes. It's a day to celebrate the hard work and accomplishments of Kenyon's talented students.

Honorary doctorates will be awarded to three distinguished alumni in recognition of their contributions to their chosen fields and to society: Daniel Mark Epstein ‘70, Janet Elaine Lord ’88 P’19 and Byers “Bud” Wendell Shaw Jr. ’72 P’09.
