ANNOUNCEMENTS

Welcome to our 50th Reunion web site!

Please join us for our 50th(!) reunion, coming up May 23-25, 2025. Our web site is designed to pique your interest, encourage you to join us on campus next spring, and remind you of our joint and individual experiences during our formative years at Oberlin.  Whether you intend to attend on campus or not, we encourage you to join this site.  The heart of the site is the set of Profiles, created by you, to share who you are now, what your life trajectory has been, and your recollections of your time at Oberlin.

Visit the First Time Visitors page (hyperlinked, and in the horizontal navigation bar above) for instructions to create a Profile and about the privacy of your information (Spoiler Alert: your personal information is not shared).  Here we encourage you to add more information than less.  We especially encourage you to add a recollection or two - or more - of your experiences at Oberlin. Go beyond just the details and share your reminiscences.  Please do add photos to your Profile.  The process has proven not to be as intuitive as it should be so there are detailed instructions. You can always use the Contact Us lifeline to ask questions.

Missing Classmates is not a list of those with whom we’ve lost touch; it’s a list of those who have yet to create a Profile.  So add your Profile and get taken off that list.

Under In Memory, we have named the classmates who have passed on.  If you have information about others or information, recollections, and/or photos of deceased classmates on the list, there is a link on each page of each classmate, or, again, Contact Us.

We invite you to suggest content to add to Our Oberlin 1971-75. There is a 1975 US History / Videos page in the vertical navigation bar to the left to remind you of events of the times, provided by the website vendor.  

Let us know about any books, music, etc, created by you so we can have a running list.  As you know, we are a prolific bunch.  We plan to exhibit them in our class meeting space at the Reunion.  And bring what you’ve created to the event!   

Again, we welcome you to our 50th Reunion web site and look forward to seeing you next May. We also look forward to your personal Profiles, with news, reflections, reminiscences, and photos.

Jeanine Donaldson, Reunion Committee Chair

Kathi Eastham, Class President

 

My name is Peter Schmidt '75. We’re raising funds for a new scholarship of $100,000 or more
to support low-income first-gen Oberlin students. Oberlin isn't doing so well in this area; we rank near *last* in this category among our peer liberal arts colleges (!). 100% of the money raised will support current and future Oberlin students.

Over $45,000 has already been pledged, as of 31 Dec 2024. You can pay a pledge in yearly installments lasting up to 5 years. Please consider joining us! For more info, please send your email to me at pschmid1@swarthmore.edu and I will give you access to a Google doc that explains the scholarship in more detail. I can also email you a short Word document with easy to follow instructions for how to donate online via Oberlin's Donate page; it shows you how to designate that your donation will go towards the new scholarship fund.
