It’s a warm day in Wilder Bowl and the Oberlin community is making the most of it. Some have chosen to spend the day with friends, study, or just have fun like these two handstanding students who also serve as inspiration for this week’s photo series

 

With warmer days, many classes and events have moved outside. In this photo tour we visit an art class as they stroll through a nearby creek; take in the sounds at the art museum; purchase handmade goods in Wilder Bowl; attend a teach-in and enjoy music at the Oberlin Public Library; and walk by a class in Tappan Square.
