The Kenyon Review


		KR Associates program

		As part of its commitment to enriching the academic environment in which it resides, The Kenyon Review works with Kenyon College students throughout the year. At least 12 students are accepted into the KR Associates Program, which involves volunteering two-to-three hours per week. Selected students gain hands-on experience in literary editing, publishing, and marketing, and each works directly with KR staff to benefit from special literary, cultural, and professional opportunities. Some examples of work assignments include reading and processing manuscripts, coordinating publicity for special events and campus readings, grant research, and advertising solicitation. Throughout the year, KR invites those involved in the production and management of the magazine—such as the chief copy editor, designer, and managing editor—to speak with the students and share their knowledge of the publishing world. All Kenyon students are invited to apply at the beginning of the school year. Applicants submit a letter of introduction stating why they wish to participate, as well as a brief letter of recommendation from faculty or other appropriate persons. Finalists may be interviewed. The selection criteria include dependability, initiative, responsibility, and ordinary workplace skills (computer literacy, answering phones, etc.). Up to three Senior Associates are appointed each year through a paid internship program, as well. Upon successful completion of the program, students are presented with certificates. Their participation is also noted on their academic transcripts.
