Campus partners provide weekly support (every Thursday classes are in session) on various academic skill-building. We cover everything from writing, to citing, to managing stress and your time. If you can't make a session, or missed one, but would like access to the materials, email Writing Center Director Anna Scanlon (she/her) at scanlon1@kenyon.edu. This semester's events are as follows:
