Ilana McNamara ’24

Hello! My name is Ilana and I’m so excited to be blogging about Oberlin! I’m originally from Omaha, Nebraska, and before you ask, my house was not next to a cornfield (said cornfield was actually down the street). I’m a fourth-year double-degree student, studying viola in the incredible Kirsten Docter’s studio (AKA the Docter’s Office!), and math in the college. I’m involved in Jewish life on campus through the Chabad student group and my klezmer band, Schtick&Poke. I am a member of Keep Co-op, I help create the crossword puzzles for The Grape (one of our student newspapers), and I am also a facilitator with Barefoot Dialogue. If you have any questions about life at Oberlin or just want to share stories, please don't hestiate to reach out!
