Office of Communications


Brand Stewardship

Oberlin College & Conservatory has entrusted the Office of Communications to define, steward, and protect Oberlin’s brand across all institutional communications.

As part of this role, Communications sets direction for how the institution is expressed across audiences and platforms, ensuring alignment with Oberlin’s mission, priorities, and strategic goals.

We provide standards, guidance, and oversight for how the brand is applied across print, digital, social, environmental, and promotional materials, and partner with colleagues across campus to ensure clarity, consistency, and impact.
