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.
Foreign Students Can Stay This Summer
President Ambar and the Oberlin Board of Trustees have authorized the College and Conservatory to host those foreign students studying at Oberlin who may not want to return to their home countries, for fear of not being able to return.
Oberlin would provide room and board and other necessary services throughout the summer.
It is not yet known how many students will choose this option.
News reports indicate that many foreign students may opt to study in countries other than the United States, rather than to do battle with immigration authoirities. Others want to consider a possible future in the U.S.

Carbon Neutrality
For attendees of our recent Road to the Future program "Oberlin City and Oberlin College Collaboration for Achieving Carbon Neutrality" and to those not able to attend: Below is the link to the program. Due to a recording glitch, only the first three speakers were captured on the video. However, because we used closed captions and AI Summary, the AI summary at the end of the video description has the summary of all the presentations of the speakers, including the final three. We hope you enjoyed the program. We are planning additional programs, most likely beginning again in the fall 2025.
