Kenwood University of New York Campus Association, Inc.

To redefine higher education through experiential learning, mentorship, and community impact that accelerates careers and advances society.

Kenwood is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to reshaping higher education through real-world, experiential learning. Founded on the belief that education should extend beyond the classroom, Kenwood bridges academic theory with industry practice, giving students the opportunity to learn by doing.

Since 2010, Kenwood has worked alongside students, faculty, and industry partners to create experiential learning opportunities that emphasize financial sustainability, systems thinking, and community impact. By 2014, Kenwood expanded its presence across public and private academic institutions, developing hands-on models in entrepreneurship, business management, and community engagement.

As Kenwood grew, so did its commitment to applied education. In 2017, project-based learning and industry partnerships became central to its offerings. By 2023, these programs proved self-sustaining, enabling further expansion into banking and real estate. This growth culminated in the beginning of 2026 with the launch of Kenwood’s Career and Leadership Launchpad.
