Office of Alumni Engagement
Washington, D.C. Alumni Club
Welcome to the Oberlin Club of Washington, D.C.!
Nearly 2,000 Oberlin graduates reside in the Washington, D.C. region. The area is a national and international center for politics, the arts, research, and advocacy. No wonder so many Oberlin graduates are drawn to the region where they can apply their Oberlin education to change the world!
The D.C. Club is Oberlin's most active regional organization. The Club sponsors several programs each month, including events that are on Zoom or in-person. Lectures, social events, museum tours, volunteer days, etc., offer many opportunities for you to meet with cohorts and alumni of all eras, and to network as you seek career information.
If you will be moving to the D.C. region or live outside the region and would like to receive notices about D.C. Club events, please send an email to the Alumni Office at alumni@oberlin.edu . You can review the Alumni Events Calendar to check on upcoming Oberlin events in the area.
