July 9, 2021

Bursts of green, orange, red, and white exploding in a night blue sky serves as inspiration for this week’s photo series.
The 4th of July was celebrated in Oberlin this past weekend with fireworks at a nearby park. After stopping at the front lawn of Hebrew Heritage House to pick-up goodie boxes that contained snacks, water, and glowsticks, students continued down South Professor Street and settled in an open grassy area for the evening’s festivities. See more photos from the 4th of July by visiting the college’s Flickr page.
Our tour continues with a visit to Bibbins Hall, where we will find professors Jody Kerchner and Gregory Ristow ’01. A drone takes us high above carbon neutral construction work in Wilder Bowl. Our tour ends by taking back the night in Tappan Square.
