Inauguration of President Carmen Twillie Ambar
On October 5, 2018, Oberlin College installed Carmen Twillie Ambar as Oberlin’s 15th president.
Inauguration offers an opportunity to invest in the institution and embrace our mission, but more important, grabs hold of the opportunity to lead. We can celebrate that which makes Oberlin unique, and pause to reflect on how our leadership distinguishes us as a world class liberal arts college and conservatory of music.
