Have you ever wanted to use your knowledge and experience, along with your background as an Obie, to help out the next generation of Obies? Now you have a chance!
Some of the students that joined us for the Black River Café event have created an ExCo (Experimental College) course entitled "Civic Leadership." Poy, Jiayu, Luke and Phebe are teaching Oberlin students some of the practical skills they will need to accomplish their goals to change the world. One of the skills they're teaching is communication--how to pitch an idea effectively and concisely to a diverse group of people in a networking situation. The 16 students are working on social change issues, and are passionate about doing what they can to change the world, in true Oberlin spirit.
On Friday, March 12, from 6:30-8pm, join the students and teachers of the Civic Leadership ExCo course, Oberlin College Faculty and other Cleveland Area alumni at Peters Hall for an evening of meeting with students, helping them out and light refreshments.
We will meet with the students, get to know them and hear their ideas and proposals, and help them along their way to better achieve their goals, giving any input and advice we may have.
Peters Hall is located at 50 North Professor Street, Oberlin, OH. Parking is available along the street throughout town.
I do hope you can join us on Friday, March 12. Please RSVP by Wednesday, March 10 by contacting me at kmcgirr@gmail.com
