This Week in Photos: The Big Send-Off

United States Postal Service bins line the floor and are stacked on mobile shelves in the Office of Admissions. This annual display serves as inspiration for this week’s photo series.

After weeks spent pouring over applications, College of Arts and Sciences Admissions Office staff members load acceptance letters into postal bins, and the excitement builds. As Oberlin College vehicles arrive and bins are placed onto trucks staff members begin to trickle outside. Throughout the years send-off day has been celebrated with cake and ice cream or a visit by Yeobie, the college mascot. But the day always ends with team members waving goodbye to the letters and trucks.
