In October, Kenyon will host its first Women’s Conference, designed to deepen connections among Kenyon alumnae and between alumnae and students through dynamic programming that celebrates women’s leadership, shared experiences and the power of community.
During this same event, we will celebrate 50 years of women’s swim and dive at Kenyon, with opportunities to connect with other Kenyon alumni swimmers as well as the current team.
The conference is being planned with the assistance of Kenyon alumnae volunteers and will feature distinguished Kenyon alumnae leaders, creators and explorers as well as other inspirational women. All are welcome to attend.
The conference will feature a gala dinner curated by Elizabeth Poett ’03, host and star of the Magnolia Network cooking and lifestyle show “Ranch to Table,” and discussions on areas such as:
- Healthcare
- Finance and Business
- Entrepreneurs
- Media and Arts
- Science and Tech
- Politics and Social Justice
Registration will open in July 2026.
A block of hotel rooms has been reserved at a discounted rate at the Mount Vernon Hampton Inn and will be available for booking through Kenyon when registration opens in July.
Thanks to a generous gift from an alumna, a limited number of hotel stipends are available. To apply for a stipend, please fill out this form before June 1.
