Environmental Studies Proposal, 1971

Detailed in this series is the development of the Environmental Studies Program at Oberlin. Of particular interest are two early initiatives—the Eco-Oberlin Conference (1970) and the ExCo “Environment” course (1971-72, 1978-79). These were collaborative efforts between faculty and students. The success of the course prompted the founding of the first ad-hoc Environmental Studies Committee (1971-72). Also of note in this series are timelines of ES at Oberlin, compiled lists of committee members and majors from 1969-93.
