Plan Your Visit

What to Expect

Reunions at Oberlin are anything but one-size-fits-all. That’s because it’s your classmates who help plan the weekend! From curated class events to activities that reflect the era you shared on campus and the history you witnessed together, this is a celebration built by Obies, for Obies. 

Reunion in the fall means classes are in session and campus is alive with energy! It’s a great time to be back in Oberlin. When you arrive, Oberlin staff and alumni volunteers will be eager to greet you and get everything you need: a schedule, your name tag, shuttle schedules, and friendly faces ready to remedy all of your questions and concerns! 

Come ready to reconnect, reminisce, and rediscover what makes Oberlin, Oberlin.
