Dear Students: Faculty Letters on Courage written to the Class of 2025 is Oberlin's multifaith celebration for graduating seniors: an opportunity to be inspired one last time by the words of your professors, share a moment of reflective pause in the company of loved ones, and hear readings and performances by your classmates.
Though this event honors our graduates, it is intended for all.
Ghassan Abou-Zeineddine, assistant professor of creative writing; Emily Barton, associate professor of creative writing; Chris Jenkins, associate dean for academic support; David Orr, professor of environmental studies and politics emeritus; and Gina Pérez, professor of comparative American studies, will share personal letters on where they find courage in turbulent times.
