Theatrical set designs at Oberlin College range from sophisticated levels and platforms to small neighborhoods complete with residential fronts built to scale, and students can learn all the creative steps of the process.

This photo series is dedicated to the Oberlin experience that is celebrated throughout the year. This week’s collection features Mozart's Così fan tutte. The opera was performed earlier this month by the Oberlin Opera Theater, directed by Associate Professor of Opera Theater Jonathon Field, and the Oberlin Chamber Orchestra, under the baton of Christopher Larkin.

Winter Term is a time of year when Oberlin students are encouraged to conduct independent or group projects outside of courses related to their majors. Pursuits can be done on or off campus with students choosing to work almost anywhere on the map. This year we highlight some of the work by the more than 900 students who completed projects in Oberlin.

In this photo series, we walk with the dinosaurs in Cleveland and visit a congressional intern in Washington, D.C., before coming back home to Oberlin to watch the Wild Beast of the Bungalow take over the stage in Warner Concert Hall; go snowboarding in Hales Gym; and sit in on a gallery talk, book art class, choir practice, an academic retreat, and a dance performance.
