Short Answer

Please respond to the following prompt for your Diversity & Access program application.

Since 1835, Oberlin has been a leader in diversity, becoming the first school in the nation to admit African Americans and adopting a policy to admit students regardless of race or gender. Because of this, some students first hear about Oberlin in their history books. How did you first learn about Oberlin and how does Oberlin’s history of diversity, equity, and inclusion align with your values?

We offer other overnight visits that do not include airfare to Cleveland. If you are not selected for this Diversity & Access program, would you be interested in one of these other options? (Selecting "yes" does not register you for these other options.) The other themes are:

The Obie Experience: September 19-21 or September 24-25
Spotlight on STEM: October 29-30 or November 5-6

Yes, I would be interested in attending a different Oberlin Overnight program
