Dearest Oberlin Alumni,
Some exciting news: this year, Oberlin will receive more applications than ever.
While this is great, it means that we’re inundated with prospective students who need interviewers… outside of Oberlin.
This is where you come in.
Under the cut is a list of where Oberlin is hosting Interview Days, where prospies interview with alums. If you’re free that day, morning or afternoon, please sign up to talk to talk to some awesome prospies. We *really need* your help, to give prospies an expert view of Oberlin. We’ll also order in lunch!
How to do it:
- Send an email to the ARN at arn@oberlin.edu
- List the subject line as “Volunteer for ARN!”
- Say what time you can interview (morning or afternoon) and in what city.
Interviews are informal conversations- times for students to meet with a representative of the college, talk about themselves, and ask questions about Oberlin. If you’d like to know more about interviewing, check out the
Interview Page at the ARN site.

If you’re a current student and would like to meet future Obies, you’d also be very welcome. Outside of interviews, prospies and their parents are brimming with questions, and really love to speak to real students.
The longer you can stay, the more helpful. But any time you can give will be great.
Thank you!
