Obies Impact

Being involved in Oberlin alumni life is exciting and provides opportunities to connect with fellow alumni, and to inspire and empower the next generation of Obies.

Young Alumni less than 10 years out of school can find ways to stay connected to Oberlin and learn about the value of giving back to the campus community. You know firsthand the needs of the campus. And you represent the best of Oberlin, with the drive to utilize your Oberlin experience to change the world.

It takes a collective effort from the entire alumni community to ensure the sustainability of Oberlin. Go to regional events, give back financially to your favorite Oberlin cause, and stay connected.

Your gift, in any amount, helps bolster the College and Conservatory’s bold reputation (and, in turn, the value of an Oberlin degree). Your gift supports initiatives that defined your transformational Oberlin experience and ensures accessibility for the next generation.
