About Us

Oberlin College and Conservatory’s Office of Finance and Administration is the operational bedrock of the institution, working diligently behind the scenes to ensure financial stability and operational excellence that underpin the transformative educational experience for which Oberlin is known.

Our mission is multifaceted: We safeguard the college's financial assets, ensure a sustainable future through sound investments, and provide the highest level of service to our students, faculty, and staff. We are stewards of the college’s physical and financial resources, and we take this responsibility seriously, with a continuous focus on efficiency and effectiveness.

Collaboration is at the heart of our approach. We partner with academic and administrative leaders across campus to foster an environment where bright minds can thrive. Together, we work toward creating a campus that is as vibrant and sustainable as it is welcoming and inclusive.

Our commitment to Oberlin’s legacy is determined. We strive to enhance the college’s standing as a premier institution by ensuring that our financial strategies support the college’s educational, artistic, and community engagement goals. By doing so, we aim to provide a foundation that allows Oberlin to innovate, inspire, and lead in higher education.

We are dedicated to transparency, accountability, and service. As we look to the future, we are excited to support Oberlin College and Conservatory as it continues to educate, challenge, and prepare the next generation of leaders.
