OCREECAS
The Center for Russian, East European and Central Asian Studies (OCREECAS) is designed to strengthen the study and teaching of Russian, East European, and Central Asian Studies at Oberlin, by expanding summer and postgraduation internship, community service, study abroad, and employment opportunities for students; fostering the development of new curricula; and offering a broad range of cultural activities focusing on the region. The center will provide the administrative support and resources essential to develop innovative programming for Oberlin students and graduates, while assuring participant safety and program quality within the rapidly changing conditions of Russia, Eastern Europe, and Central Asia.
