Looking to the Future
“My family’s situation was difficult and I was only able to attend Kenyon because of a scholarship. Today, I can envision an exceptional high school student who dreams, right now, of attending Kenyon if only their need can be met. By planning a gift from my estate, I can make a difference in the lives of future students for generations to come.”
—Todd J. Rosenberg ’72
Can you remember the first time you walked down Middle Path or sat down with friends in Peirce Hall?
As you think back, we hope you have fond memories of your time on the Hill at Kenyon and its importance in your life.
Keep Your Memories Alive
Founded in 1824, Kenyon is the oldest private college in Ohio and the first institution in the U.S. to implement the model of faculty members serving as academic advisors.
Today, as we approach our bicentennial, the demand for a Kenyon education is stronger than ever.
You can honor the important role your time between first year sing and senior sing has played in your life with a legacy gift to Kenyon College. Your gift will allow future generations to benefit from the traditions and top-tier education that make the Kenyon experience unique —and allow your memories to live on, forever.
That’s exactly what Todd Rosenberg ’72 has done. The history major never lost his passion for the past.
He met his wife, Diane, while both were volunteering as tour guides at historic Stan Hywet Hall and Garden in Akron. They make their home in Akron, with their daughter and her family nearby. In their retirement—he from FedEx and she from teaching—they enjoy spending their winters on the Gulf Coast near their son, a historic building preservation specialist.
Avid readers of 20th century history, Todd and Diane attend conferences of the International Churchill Society, where they meet professional historians, authors and other enthusiasts. Todd also keeps in touch with retired Kenyon Professor Reed Browning.
Todd credits his Kenyon experience with teaching him to read critically. “Kenyon gave us the ability and willingness to read difficult books,” Todd says.
By supporting Kenyon with a gift in his estate plan as well as with a gift today to the Kenyon Access Initiative, he hopes to provide future students with the same opportunity he received during his time at the College.
