We believe that a diverse and inclusive learning environment—one that values intellectual rigor and civil discourse— succeeds by producing leaders who practice and promote these same values beyond their time at Kenyon.

We also believe:

Each and every one of us must feel welcome, respected and included. We realize that a culture of respect and inclusion doesn't happen spontaneously. It's up to all of us to intentionally build and sustain a welcoming community.

A liberal education thrives when it includes a wide range of perspectives. When students and faculty from a spectrum of cultures, faiths and backgrounds come together, the learning experience is more informed and inclusive.

An academically talented student body is a diverse one. As the diversity of Kenyon’s student body continues to expand, the academic credentials of entering students also have increased, as have retention and graduation rates.
