Like many college yearbooks, Kenyon’s "Reveille" has fallen on hard times in recent years. Observers blame uneven funding, lack of interest among students, and social media.
Kenyon’s land trust turns a golf course into a public nature preserve—including space for environmentally friendly burials that bring the past into the future.
Holi, the ancient Hindu festival that welcomes spring with a shower of color, in this case marked the last day of classes. Colored corn starch was in the air and on the skin and clothes of all comers to Ransom Lawn.

Sierra DeLeon ’14, a two-sport athlete, packed away her volleyball gear from the fall and shifted into spring in high gear. She strung together multiple explosive performances that included record-breaking Kenyon runs in the 100- and 200-meter dashes, as well as the 100-meter hurdles.
A casual, weekly dinner series —Top Five—was introduced at Peirce Hall this year and featured a list of five favorites in any field chosen by a professor. Dean of Students Henry “Hank” Toutain dropped in to share his “Top Five Vinyl Records.”

2. Abbey Road by the Beatles
3. Heavy Organ by Virgil Fox

Olubusola O. Olukoya and Samuel A. Justice married in Boston in “a small, intimate wedding attended virtually by Kenyon professors and in person by a few men’s soccer alums, including Anthony I. Amolo ’17. Daniel C. Akuma ’14 was the best MC, and Edna J. Kemboi ’16 was a glowing bridesmaid. It felt like an International Students at Kenyon (ISAK) reunion, with Iggee Marrero Hu designing the most beautiful boutonnieres and her husband, Hector L. Marrero, doing the absolute most to make the day go perfectly. Myself, Tony and Daniel opened the dance floor with Afrobeats music and, in our small venue, I was reminded of the many international formals I organized at Weaver Cottage. Here, however, my new husband became my forever dance partner. At my new home with Sam, I am slowly finding my Kenyon self again. I am very, very happy.”
Alyssa M. LaFrenierre and Christian F. Josephson ’16 moved to Philadelphia, where Alyssa started working in the NICU at Children’s Hospital. “Most recently, we spent some time in Greece to celebrate Jacob T. Hegge’s wedding alongside other fellow Kenyon alumni!”
Frederick C. Bierman, Brooklyn, New York, informs, “Had a delightful dinner with Peter M. Sughrue Jr., Joseph D. Goldberg ’99 and James C. Stover ’99 in NYC, where Peter and I see each other frequently. Jamie has returned to his roots in New Jersey but can be found haunting the bars near Penn Station while waiting for the train. Joe was in town (from Oakland) for work, and it was great fun to catch up. Missing was Andrew B. Solar ’99, who has moved back to New York City and looks forward to getting back into musical theater and the Jets — two things he missed while living in Chicago.”
