Oberlin Alumni Magazine 247 West Lorain St., Suite C Oberlin, OH 44074 NONPROFIT ORG. U.S. POSTAGE PAID OBERLIN COLLEGE PERMIT NO. 8 “Oberlin gave me a better understanding of how different people were. My parents were proud of our history, but they wanted us to value diversity and respect different races, cultures, and ethnicities. Oberlin really reinforced for me how it’s important not to judge a book by its cover. It was a very accepting place.” —STEPHANIE RAWLINGS-BLAKE ’92 2
