Wendell P. Russell, Jr. '71
Senior Counsel, Meijer;
President, Alumni Association Executive Board

"I contribute some time and money to Oberlin on an annual basis because I was asked to get involved with Alumni Association activities a few years ago, and by now the effort has become a habit. It has also given me a great deal of pleasure to work with other Oberlin alumni. I believe regular charitable giving is habit forming, and once you start, it's easy to keep doing it. The important thing is to start the process.

"You will find strong support for your decision to become a regular financial contributor in each issue of the Oberlin Alumni Magazine or at the Oberlin web site, as you review all the wonderful things that students and teachers continue to make happen in Oberlin and in the larger world. Develop the habit of supporting the Oberlin experience for new generations of students. It's a habit you will not want to kick!"
