Oberlin’s been in the news a couple times recently, so I thought I’d write a short roundup for folks who are offcampus or otherwise out of the loop:

Today I had the privilege and unexpected pleasure of running into a woman who was in my first year seminar, but who has since transferred to another school. She was back on a visit to see campus and a number of her friends. I’m not really one of those, but happily our paths crossed and [...]
