The Road to Oberlin: Admissions into The College of Arts and Sciences
A Zoom Conversation with Joshua Levy ’94, Senior Associate Director of Admissions
College admissions is a competitive process for both students and institutions. How is Oberlin doing? Who is coming to Oberlin and from where? How have admissions processes evolved in this era of online applications and AI? What should prospective students and their families consider as they identify and narrow down schools of interest? How are demographic and socioeconomic trends challenging the recruitment and retention efforts of colleges and universities? Join Senior Associate Director of Admissions, Joshua Levy ’94, for an informative discussion that will update alumni and help inform those who will soon be applying to colleges.
DATE: Sunday, July 26, 2026
TIME: 7:00-8:00 p.m. Eastern (6-7 p.m. Central / 5-6 p.m. Mountain / 4-5 p.m. Pacific)
This program is jointly sponsored by the Oberlin Clubs of the Bay Area and Washington, DC, and is hosted by Ed Milner ’79 and Clyde Owan ’79. All are welcome to participate in the discussion!
