In keeping with Oberlin’s historic commitment to thoughtful civic engagement, the Bonner Center for Service and Learning promotes the integration of intellectual inquiry, artistic development, and community involvement. The center partners with the surrounding community and beyond to encourage all students to become engaged citizens through curricular and cocurricular initiatives that both enrich the community and enhance students’ education.
The Bonner Center also supports a growing number of faculty-initiated, community-based research and community-based learning experiences that educate students and strengthen the community. Each year, more than 1,200 Oberlin College students serve a host of organizations and individuals. This involvement lets students explore issues of personal and intellectual concern while learning how to become active citizens.
