Biba Duffy-Boscagli ’23

Hello, blog readers! My name is Biba and I’m a fourth-year at Oberlin. I’m majoring in art history and minoring in comparative literature. I’m from Santa Barbara, California. 

I really enjoy working with kids in the Oberlin community. I’m a cochair of Girls in Motion, a mentorship program that encourages body positivity and empowerment for young girls through dance. I also teach creative writing to incarcerated youth with the Writers in Residence Program. When I’m not working with kids, I love giving tours at the Allen Memorial Art Museum or brewing coffee at Azariah’s (the on-campus coffee shop)!

When I’m not working, mentoring, or studying, you’ll find me painting in the grass, perhaps with a gallon of chocolate milk and a few friends. I love kite-flying, journaling, eating spectacular food, and finding out about music I’ve never heard of. I’ll climb an odd tree, or try striking a conversation in French with a fluent speaker. Though I’m not very good at running, I do it all the time, and once in a while when inspiration strikes suddenly, I sometimes write beautiful poems.

I’m excited to share my Oberlin experience! If you have any questions don’t hesitate to reach out. As an incoming student, I loved reading the blogs and I hope my writing can shed some light on the amazing experiences I’ve had at Oberlin so far. Happy reading!

Oberlin From Afar

Though not enrolled, and nowhere near Oberlin, I’ve become part of a few small communities that I really look forward to meeting with each week.
