Rural Life Center

The Rural Life Center at Kenyon College promotes education, scholarship, and public projects about Knox County, Ohio. In active partnership with the surrounding community, we seek to ensure the vitality of rural life in a changing society. The goal of the Rural Life Center is to sustain rural character, promote dialogue, and provide models for educators and organizations nationwide. The RLC is a pioneer in mainstreaming academic study of rural life throughout the curriculum. Coursework, independent studies, summer internships, and extracurricular activities share local knowledge and address regional issues by means of public projects. In all our efforts, the RLC educates students into the community.
