One of the primary initiatives of the “One Oberlin” plan is a re-invigoration of Winter Term:

As part of its efforts to enhance the Oberlin experience for prospective and current students, the AAPR Steering Committee recommends creating a more robust Winter Term, including a significantly larger on-campus presence, expanded and enhanced curricular and co-curricular options for students, and enhancing administrative coordination and faculty engagement.

We were among the first classes to experience Winter Term. For many of us our experiences were a turning point, as well as the focus of many memories. Whether formative or wacky, we would like to collect memories of these experiences. We are thinking of including something about Winter Term in our reunion programming, but in the meantime, please share your experiences in our class forum.
