This image’s title asks: “who does a writing center help?” Explaining “We support all of the following individuals in groups and in one-on-one appointments: Currently-enrolled Kenyon students studying in all majors, disciplines, concentrations, and minors (we’re not just for English papers). Alumni of Kenyon Faculty and staff A small portion of local high school students applying to various colleges and universities.” It also reminds you where you can go: OWL.Kenyon.edu is where you go to make online and in-person appointments.
This image’s title asks: “who doesn’t a writing center help?” And explains: We will not support writers who: Are in violation of campus policies regarding student conduct, academic integrity, Title IX, and so forth Want to plagiarize their work Are not engaged in the tutoring process (you can come back another day!); sometimes you’re just not feeling it and we understand!” It also shares you can send questions to WritingCenter@Kenyon.edu
Today, continuing our theme, we’re sharing who a writing center helps. We’ll meet your accommodation needs, support you when you’re stressing, and get excited with you as you brainstorm #kenyoncollege #writingcenter
The image shares what a writing center does, which includes: We will often do some combination of the following: Ask what you want to work on Advise you on what to change (and explain why) Read your work out loud so we can hear as well as see areas of concern Address higher-order concerns first (those areas which impact your grade most). Next to an image of people studying, it reminds you: You can start making appointments the second week of the semester!
This image shares some of the things our writing center doesn’t do, including: We will not do the following: Write your paper or presentation for you. Work on your paper or presentation without you present (you MUST actively attend the session in person or online; we are not a place where you drop off your work and pick it up later). Give you a grade or advocate to your professor for you to earn a certain grade. Next to an image of people studying, it reminds you: OWL.Kenyon.edu is where you go to make online and in person appointments.
Continuing from yesterday, we want to share a few ways the writing center at #kenyoncollege #kenyon does and does not help writers! Questions? Email Prof Scanlon at Scanlon1@kenyon.edu! #writingcenter
The image shows in large letters: “The Who, what, where, and how of our writing center community.” In smaller letters, it explains: “We welcome all writers, in all fields, at all stages of their writing process from brainstorming to final edits. Find us on Instagram, Blue Sky, and YouTube for more support @KenyonWCC”
This image is titled: “what is a writing center?” It then explains: “It is a space for ALL writers in a campus community to get support. This support can include our offering a second perspective on a piece of writing; giving you advice on how to deliver a speech; providing guidance regarding a professor’s expectations; sharing advice on how to write in a specific genre; listening to a piece of writing you created for fun; and SO MUCH MORE! Just ask! You can email us at WritingCenter@kenyon.edu! A clip art picture of people working on a presentation is included.
This image is titled what *isn’t* a writing center. It explains: It is NOT a space in which we’ll assign grades; sit in judgement of you or your work; help you with take-home exams or quizzes (without your professor’s written approval); welcome perspectives which don’t respect others’ lived experiences; or do your work for you. We stop. Collaborate. And listen. You can email us at WritingCenter@kenyon.edu. A clip art picture of people working on a presentation is included.
If your high school didn’t have a #writingcenter, if you haven’t visited us before at #kenyoncollege #kenyon, or if you’re not sure we can help, stay tuned for the next few days as we break down what a writing center is… and isn’t as well as HOW (and WHO) we can help!

I'm so sorry to find out about the passing of Tom Stamp. He was an amazingly kind and generous person, and an absolute top-notch ambassador for #KenyonCollege
They banned a book about cats and a cartoon.
Takei you could expect because he says things about the truth that they don't like. But a book about cats? A cartoon tiger?

Old Kenyon is where it all started. With its proud spires and massive stone walls (four feet thick at the base), Old Kenyon dates from the era of the College's founding. It was, in fact, the school's first permanent building, constructed between 1827 and 1829. For most of its history, it has been a residence hall—and a particularly popular one, because of its historic character and its central location at the southern end of Middle Path, near many of the College's major classroom buildings. Today Old Kenyon houses independent students, as well as the members of two fraternities (Delta Kappa Epsilon and Alpha Delta Phi) and a coed group, the Peeps o' Kenyon.
