The field of education requires strong communication, collaboration, problem solving, and multicultural competence—that is, many of the skills you’re developing during your Oberlin education.
During the spring ’20 semester, workshops for the Education career community will take place from 7 to 8:30 p.m. on the following Tuesdays: 2/11, 2/18, 2/25, 3/3, 3/10, and 3/17.
Possible Paths
