The KEEP and STEM Summer Experience introduces selected students to Kenyon before Orientation by offering them an intensive academic program »Æ¹Ï¾«Æ·summer and by connecting them with supportive peers and mentors.
All students arriving at John Glenn Columbus International Airport (CMH) will be picked up by a Kenyon shuttle driver at the baggage claim area. Prior to your departure, you will receive an additional email from Kennedey Bell, administrative assistant to the Office for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, with specific information about your shuttle to campus.
Room assignments will be made prior to your arrival. All scholars will live in Norton Residence Hall. You will receive a temporary room key, your student ID, and a Summer Programs card for access to buildings upon arrival.
In Norton, your KEEP/STEM housing and programming coordinator will have access to limited supplies that are available for you to use. This will include over-the-counter medicine (ibuprofen, allergy pills, first aid kits, etc.), toiletries, detergent and other miscellaneous items. We will cover meal and admission costs to all events on and off campus. We also will have an assortment of board games and some athletic equipment for recreational use throughout the summer. You will have access to the Lowry Center throughout the summer with your K-Card (provided to you upon your arrival). All textbooks, notebooks, pens/pencils and other materials needed for classes will be provided upon your arrival.
The lists below will help you in your packing/shopping for the KEEP and STEM summer experience. Please understand that this list is a recommendation, and is in no way a requirement. Also note that you will have limited space in your room, and your summer housing assignment will not be your permanent housing assignment for the academic year 2025-2026. You are encouraged to limit what you bring to two bags/boxes. Students are NOT allowed to bring animals, candles or candle warmers.
