Kenyon in Quotes

“Robert A. Oden, Jr. Professor of Biology Joan Slonczewski taught me to think critically and gave me opportunities that snowballed into a lifetime of small achievements."

Kenyon in Quotes

"Without ever saying anything overtly to our political science class, Professor Emerita of Political Science Pam Jensen somehow managed to encourage intellectual rigor outside the class, and respectful engagement with a wide range of ideas within it. She became a model for me of what a scholar, instructor, mentor and guide could, and should, be."

Recent Class Notes
’09

Toni J. Metcalf and her husband, Brady, spent a fun summer week on the Carolina coast. “We love living in Dublin, Ohio, with our cats Apollo, Bella and Simon,” she shares. “I’m still working as a paralegal in the elder law arena, helping clients obtain Medicaid eligibility and prepare estate planning documents.”

’94

Katherine Farnham updates, “I am a senior architectural historian at AECOM, where I’m part of a team designing ADA improvements to Amtrak stations nationwide. Outside of work, but very similar to work, I’m vice-chair of my township’s historical commission. I am also president of the Skycastle French Hounds basset pack and spend a lot of time training and hunting around Chester County, Pennsylvania, with our 16 Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen hounds — a rare-in-the-U.S. dog breed that won the 2023 Westminster Kennel Club dog show. My son Ned is a senior in high school, and my husband and I are almost empty-nesters. My daughter Helen is a sophomore at the University of Pittsburgh, which has given me multiple opportunities to see Amy Katz Leaman and her family.”

’95

Natasha Carrasco Stillman updates, “Kia ora from Wellington, New Zealand. After several years in eastern Germany, I returned to New Zealand and have been working within the Outbreak Response Directorate, Te Whatu Ora Health NZ, National Public Health Service. … I have segued into the artificial intelligence/equity space, where I assume I will be happily ensconced for several years, because it’s definitely not boring and I hate being bored above all else.”
