Women at Kenyon: Kenyon Generations

Join us online

Colleges are frequently microcosms for society more broadly and Kenyon was famously not entirely prepared for the first coeducational class when they arrived in 1969. Cultural shifts from the moment of coeducation took time to achieve any sort of equilibrium. Stories from the late ’60s and early ’70s are worth reporting. Future generations are largely unaware of the hardships faced by early classes of women, however every decade of women faced struggles and challenged norms that shaped both their education and character.

Panel moderated by Laurie Finke, professor of Women’s and Gender Studies. Panelists include Julie Miller Vick ’73 P’12 H’97, Tamara Parson ’93, and Jessie Menzel ’07.

Women at Kenyon: Building a Meaningful Life

Join us online

How has their Kenyon education prepared these alumnae to build a satisfying life that is full of purpose? Success is self defined and can take many forms; civic engagement, career/professional achievement; the pursuit of life-long learning, artistic endeavors or even intentional self care. Where do things like mentors, mistakes and plain old luck factor in? Human connection is so important: as we are on our own journey shouldn’t we reach back and help other women who are forging their own paths?

Panelists include Larae Bush Schraeder ’97, Hope Harrod ’98 (unable to attend, last minute) and Lydia Winkler ’13. Panel moderated by Meredith Harper Bonham ’92, VP for Student Affairs.
