New 50th Reunion Program Introduced

 

The 50th reunion at Kenyon has always been a treasured event for alumni, allowing classmates to reconnect with one another and the College, and come together to leave a lasting class legacy through giving.

To elevate this milestone, Kenyon has introduced a new 50th Reunion Program, directed by Shayna Daubert. The program, which was created with the input of an alumni steering committee, expands the reunion beyond one wonderful weekend to a series of opportunities over a preceding three-year period. "I am delighted to see this enhanced focus on 50th reunions and on engaging each member of the reunion class," says committee member Jim Finn '70. "It is a big event in our lives, and it's great to give it the attention it deserves."

Historically, the 50th reunion also has been a time that alumni choose to mark by giving at a level that is personally meaningful to them. Kenyon is fortunate that many choose to increase their philanthropy and others create new habits of support. The new program emphasizes a variety of giving options, including estate commitments, that can be tailored to your personal priorities and circumstances.

"I feel very comfortable with the plan we developed together that allows me to make a meaningful gift now and through my estate plan. It will enable me to meet both my personal and my tax goals."

— Alumnus Susan Emery McGannon '72, who worked with advancement professionals to craft a tax-smart blended gift of cash, stocks, life insurance and IRA distributions
