Campus
The Keuka College community of scholars, students, and administrators vigorously supports the essential role student life plays in guiding the development of young adults. Co-curricular, social, and recreational activities, along with a renewed campus ministry program and competitive women’s and men’s intercollegiate athletic teams, complement Keuka College’s academic programs, leadership in experiential learning, and splendid lakeside campus.
The beauty of the Keuka College campus is consistently cited as one of its leading assets.
