The College continues to view a diverse, equitable and inclusive educational environment as essential to the excellence of its academic program.

The Office of Winter Term manages the project proposal, application, and grant processes for Winter Term and also coordinates the work of the Winter Term Committee. Oberlin’s Winter Term takes place each January for four weeks and encourages students to explore fields of study and experiential learning opportunities that may directly link to their major, but also encourages exploration beyond the major.
