Knox has a long and treasured history of community involvement. When the College was founded in 1837, students split their time between working in the fields and working in the classrooms.
Through an emphasis on hands-on experiential learning and a goal of making every student a responsible steward of the environment and a responsible citizen, we are always looking to the broader world beyond our campus.
