The Office of the Dean of Students offers a range of initiatives so that students have well-rounded academic and social experiences while at Oberlin.
These initiatives support the division’s chief mission: to collaborate in empowering our students to explore possibilities, engage with their communities, and experience personal growth and development, by co-creating a holistic and transformative living learning environment. Through these experiences, they are prepared to lead with purpose and thrive in a diverse and complex global society.
Initiatives include programs that encourage students to engage with neighborhoods in local and regional communities through social activities, volunteerism, community service, internship opportunities, and more.
