Kenyon is creating a place focused on student success by incorporating several campus partners in the new library with the LBIS team: Career Development Office, Academic Advising, Writing Center, Student Accessibility, and Support Services. LBIS is a merged library and IT division that includes the library, IT, and Institutional Research services.
