Students in the Class of 2022 walk down a shaded pathway that joins a large tent nestled in a backyard on Forest Street. They will soon be welcomed by their host, President Carmen Twillie Ambar, into a spring day senior garden party.
On June 5, the Class of 2022 will commence on Tappan Square. After the interruption of the pandemic, the last class to graduate on the square was in 2019. Now, Oberlin’s long tradition continues with a class that includes 665 members receiving their degrees—85 bachelor of music; two artist diplomas; 35 double-degree; and 543 bachelor of arts. The weekend will be punctuated with the return of several reunioning classes and events for all.
Our photo tour continues with more perfectly pitched campus moments.
