Condolences
On behalf of Oberlin’s faculty, staff, students and alumni, I offer our condolences to the families and loved ones of David Clark who passed away March 31, 2014 and to Esther Hunt, who left us this past week. They contributed so much to our community. They shall all be missed. But each leaves behind a legacy of caring and compassion.
Only at Oberlin
I hope everyone enjoys the gorgeous days, the timeless magic of Illumination, and the euphoria of Commencement….Only at Oberlin.

It is hard to believe this will be my final "President’s Desk" column. But in August, I will become president of Pace University in New York. It has been an honor and a privilege to serve as your president.
Remembering Jonathan Demme
May 5, 2017
I’ve been thinking a lot about Oberlin parents and families since I received the sad news last week that Jonathan Demme, the brilliant film director, had passed away. Although Oberlin isn’t his alma mater, Jonathan really came to appreciate the College, Conservatory, and our community. His visits always seemed to energize him, and he became a stalwart supporter of our cinema studies program and the Apollo Outreach Initiative, which offers filmmaking classes to local school kids.
Response to Proposed Federal Budget Cuts
March 31, 2017
The budget proposals being put forward by the Trump administration are deeply troubling in many ways for our society and for American higher education, especially for liberal arts institutions such as Oberlin. The proposed cuts in discretionary spending are contrary to our values of access and inclusion, and our commitment to scientific research, the arts, and the humanities.
