"Kenyon's campus has always been a truly distinctive gem. Georgia's leadership has resulted in new, state-of-the-art academic facilities, spectacular new cultural facilities, major improvements in student housing, and more, all done in a way sensitive to the historic campus. The College has never looked or worked better."
-David Horvitz '74, Kenyon trustee and former board chair
"Our greatest strength is the Kenyon faculty-they are the dream of what parents want for their children. These are people who are at the top of their game, and who are devoting so much attention to their students. The quality of personal attention to students' learning is something that I had not experienced in the Ivy League."
-Georgia Nugent
"The composition of a student body is a living reflection of a college's mission, and Georgia Nugent, through her dedication to student financial aid, helped Kenyon achieve its goals on all fronts. By leading the cause for new financial aid resources through her advocacy and her own giving, Georgia has helped us better reflect our world in our student body, bringing us great students with academic talent, from all across our country and the globe, representative of its economic and ethnic diversity. That, for our students, is a crucial part of a Kenyon education."
-Barry F. Schwartz '70, chairman, Kenyon Board of Trustees
"Georgia has strongly supported the Philander Chase Corporation in our efforts to preserve open lands. But, going further, she has helped articulate the vision of a ‘green umbrella,' bringing together all of our environmental and sustainability programs in a way that makes them part of our students' education. She believes passionately in students learning about the rural world and appreciating the importance of wise stewardship of the land."
-Lisa Schott '80, managing director, Philander Chase Corporation (Kenyon's land trust)
"I think that being a woman contributed to my wanting to improve the child care situation. Inadequate options for child care had been a source of frustration for faculty and staff going back many years."
