Welcome to our

Class of 1969
50th Reunion
Website
Thanks for coming! As part of the CRW (Commencement / Reunion Weekend), our 50th Reunion was held on campus May 24-27, 2019. We hope to maintain this website for years so it can serve as our "memory book." See the -Scrapbook section.
If you're new here, you'll see an Announcement below explaining how to join the site. If you've been here before, you can continue staying in touch with comments on your -Classmate Profile as well as exchanging messages with your friends.
Also, the classes of 1967 and 1968 joined us for a Cluster Reunion on campus from September 29 through October 1, 2023.
Even though you're logged in to this Class of 1969 website, you're encouraged to go to the separate Cluster site at www.obie676869.com, click on your name, and "click now to create your login." Then you can say hello to members of all three classes!
If you're a member but aren't currently signed in, click the Sign In button. It's either on the upper right of this screen or below these Announcements.
If you're new to this website, please go to the First Time Visitors menu item (on the top bar above) to learn about it. Then go to Classmate Profiles and locate your name. (Tip: try a Search for your name, which is faster that scrolling through that long list.) Click on your name and follow the prompts to create your profile.
Many of your classmates have already joined, and you can check out their profiles. However, many have not, and you can help us out! Go to Not Yet Joined This Site , where you'll find several of your old friends on the list. If you know how to get in touch with any of them, please do so and ask them to join us here.

Oberlin City and College Collaboration for Achieving Carbon Neutrality
Join us for the fascinating story of how their collaboration starting in 2000 was able to achieve Carbon Neutrality by 2025. How did they do it? With solar panels, geothermal, dashboard energy monitoring, educational modules, home energy upgrades, school and community activities, and intensive collaborative planning. The speakers will be
John Petersen '88, Oberlin faculty and systems ecologist
Linda Arbogast, City of Oberlin Sustainability Coordinator
Gregory Jones, Energy Advocate for POWER (Providing Oberlin with Efficiency Responsibly)
Sami Singleton '25, OC senior and Environmental Studies Major with a path in urban design
Josette Apple '25, OC senior and Environmental Studies Major specializing in communications & media
Chris Norman, Oberlin faculty and Senior Director for Energy and Sustainability.
And the moderator will be Walt Galloway '69, the current Chair of the Oberlin College EnviroAlums. The organizers include Paul Safyan ’68, Dave Tempest ’72, and Susan Buck ’72. After brief introductions, the speakers will open the program for interactive questions.
This program is part of the “Road to the Future” series sponsored by the Oberlin Alumni Classes ‘67 to ‘72. Click here for detailed biographies of the participants, or click here for links to additional background resources on Oberlin environmental sustainability.
