Kenyon’s 193rd Commencement took place at 10:30 a.m. on Friday, May 21. Held in warm sunshine on McBride Field, which provides more space for social distancing than the traditional location on the lawn between Ascension Hall and Samuel Mather Hall, the ceremony recognized nearly 300 graduates of Kenyon’s Class of 2021.
Due to COVID-19, in-person attendance was limited to graduates, Kenyon faculty and staff participating in the ceremony and a limited number of pre-registered guests. However, all were welcome to view a livestream of the ceremony, which is now available as a recording.
