Oberlin Blogs

Though not enrolled, and nowhere near Oberlin, I’ve become part of a few small communities that I really look forward to meeting with each week.

I’m a first-year having my first experience in college radio!

The liberal arts framework of Oberlin gives you the space to listen, and most importantly, to learn.

Essentially, my radio show was a one-hour period each week where I provided my thoughts on the things I love most besides friends and family, to an audience I could never see.

Finding a college with a great acapella scene was crucial to me as a high schooler. I'm so happy that I was a member of the Acapelicans for much of my time at Oberlin!

I interview two of OSLAM’s past presidents, Annika Hansteen-Izora ‘17 and Deborah Johnson ‘18, about their lives, leadership, and favorite poems ever.

I’m so grateful to have found a home writing and editing for a literary magazine on campus.

As my time at Oberlin comes to a close, I wanted to start a new weekly blog series (which I’ll stick to!) in which I outline some of the things I’ve been most grateful for at Oberlin. Let’s start with ExCos.

These lessons in leadership have been enormously impactful in helping me understand that I do not always need to be in control.

Going into nature for my break was such a good choice.
