Welcome to Oberlin College's Center for Albino Squirrel Research

It's been quite the busy first year for our center, and we're into the home stretch. While tongue-in-cheek - and hopefully both entertaining and informative - our Center has always had a serious mission: to increase young alumni involvement in Oberlin College.

That involvement takes two main forms - donations and volunteering. With the June 30 deadline for gifts approaching quickly, we've put together a case statement to help explain why we ask for donations, and how any size gift helps the school. If you like visual explanations, take a look at the Flash slideshow and accompanying audio; for the readers out there, a recent lab report covers many of the same points. And if you're just looking for an answer to that last burning question before you make a gift, check out our info page or email us at squirrel@oberlin.edu.

Thanks to the over 760 of you who already donated for making this a great first year!
