Outdoor activities, live-streamed concerts, and socially distanced classes are underway for the spring semester.
An ice tower, fire pits, music, hot beverages, snacks, and a skating rink greeted members of the Oberlin College community in Wilder Bowl in early February. The TGIF event is an effort to create a space for the campus to safely gather. Winter Oberland will continue through mid-March and is open to those in Oberlin’s testing protocol.
