We Are Kenyon Campaign- $110M on first day

Kenyon launched its biggest fundraising campaign ever, We Are Kenyon, yesterday June 1st and has already raised $110M of its $230M goal. Some of the funds have already been dedicated to the new Visual Arts complex, which consists of two buildings- a 40,000 sq.ft. studio arts building and a 30,000 sq.ft. art history/museum/exhibition building- that total $34M. Paul Newman also donated funds to start a Newman's Own Foundation Scholarship program, which will provide at least $450,000 per year. Other donations include a $25M anonymous gift and a $10M gift from David Horvitz '74.

As a class of 2011 entering freshman, this seems like a very exciting time to be joining the Kenyon community. I think that this fundraising campaign will further strengthen Kenyon's solid reputation in the liberal arts, and will continue to attract a more creative, diverse, and intelligent student body. Being a planned Studio Art major/minor, I am extremely excited about the prospect of a new arts complex at kenyon. I CANT WAIT FOR AUGUST!

Kenyon '11!!!!

rhunter, how do you like Kenyon? Is there anything you wished you had known during the application process that you only learned when you got there? My D is very interested in the school, so we are always searching for good advice and info.
