Marie Barnett elected Class of 2008
Alumni Class President

Results have been tabulated for the Class of 2008 alumni class president election. Marie Barnett has been elected.

For your information, the alumni class president is a member of Alumni Council and returns to campus each fall for its weekend long meeting. Each year, after the Alumni Council meeting, the class president writes a letter to members of the class reporting on Oberlin and on alumni activities and programs.

Marie will serve a six-year term until her class celebrates its first reunion in May 2014.

A Message from Bill Hilton '65,
President of the Alumni Association:

In Search of Excellence

By now I believe that you will have heard news of Laura Gobbi’s departure from Oberlin for the warmer climate (in winter) of Oakland, California’s Mills College, where she will be Director of Alumnae Relations.  I am very sad to see her leave Oberlin, but our Association (of which she continues as a member) will not let her “off the hook.” We expect her to remain involved with Oberlin Alumni as an active participant with San Francisco Bay Area Alumni.
