Learn about the mysterious organ instrument and these so-called Oberlin organists in this exclusive interview with two of Oberlin's organ majors, Matthew Dion '21 and Natalie Mealey '19.

Thoughts on being halfway through my Oberlin career.

The semester I took Oberlin’s brochure up on its offer to rent a work of art.

This weekend, I had the pleasure of performing in my first ever Student Dance Showcase.

Ever since I first saw OC Taiko perform at Asian Night Market last year, I’ve been an ardent supporter of taiko on campus.

I would not be the same anywhere else. And I’m not sure I would want to be anyone else.

My experience in the opera pit for Oberlin's The Marriage of Figaro.

After only just discovering dance, I dived right in this summer and attended ADF, one of the largest summer dance intensives in the country. What resulted was one of the most empowering, exhausting and transformative experiences of my life.

For the start of my glorious Summer of Movement™, I headed to Brooklyn, New York, couch hopped for three weeks, and took just about every single class offered at the Brooklyn Zoo Gym: Parkour, Tricking, Breakdancing, Bar Conditioning, Contortion, etc.

I wanted a program where I would be given the freedom to pursue different styles of filmmaking, because I was getting bored with knowing the ins and outs of really normal video-making, for lack of a better term.
