Essay Question

Since our founding in 1833, Oberlin has been a leader in diversity and inclusion. We became the first college to establish a policy to admit students regardless of race in 1835, and the first to admit women into a coeducational program in 1837. Because of this, some students first hear about Oberlin in their history books.

How did you first hear about Oberlin and why are you interested in participating in the Multicultural Visit Program? (300 word max)
