Board meetings and strategic plans from Kenyon College
This strategic plan outlines efforts to conserve farmland and green space in perpetuity around Kenyon College, ensuring land is never developed. Key initiatives include protecting approximately 6,000 acres of farmland within a five-mile radius through conservation easements, preserving the rural setting of the surrounding area. A significant component of the plan involved acquiring the 45-acre Tomahawk Golf Course to establish an open community green space, which additionally functions as a green burial ground, promoting eco-friendly burial practices.
This session, titled "First Year Family Panel," featured introductory remarks by the Director of the First Year Experience, Don Miller, and the Dean of Students, Brian Jansen. The primary goal was to provide new parents and family members with peer advice and wisdom from current parents regarding the transition to college life. Panelists shared their experiences concerning parental emotions during the initial weeks, balancing support with student autonomy, and encouraging students to seek resources like professors and the Career Development Office (CDO). Discussions also covered the growth observed in students, including social-emotional development like navigating roommate challenges, academic engagement such as exploring majors and applying for awards, and increased confidence and networking through involvement in student organizations and campus activities.
Kenyon College's "Foundations for Kenyon's Third Century" strategic plan addresses challenges facing higher education, including financial constraints, demographic shifts, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The plan prioritizes engaging students in rigorous learning through high-impact practices, expanding international experiences, and developing a computational studies program. It also emphasizes recruiting and retaining a diverse student body, fostering a strong sense of community, and securing the College's financial future. Key initiatives include strengthening faculty support, expanding opportunities for global learning, promoting inclusive excellence, and enhancing health and wellness programs. Strategic changes involve increasing the student body size, adjusting the academic calendar to incorporate a winter term, and developing new institutional partnerships. The plan aims to maintain the core values of a Kenyon education while adapting to the evolving needs of students and the broader world.
