But it’s no small feat to improve upon the amazing accomplishments of 2017, when nearly $600,000 was raised from close to 3,000 donors.<br> <br> “One of the challenges with this year’s event is trying to improve on the incredible success we had last year,” Skingel says. “We were overwhelmed by the support we received from alumni, faculty, staff, students, parents, and friends of the college. We had gifts from all over the world.”</p> <p>During the <em>All In</em> celebration on Thursday, April 26, there will be both on-campus and virtual events, including giveaways, free food, live performances, interviews with faculty, staff, and students, and a mobile trivia station, among other things. Many of the day’s events will be livestreamed.</p> <p>Like the previous year, Chris Canavan ’84, chair of the Board of Trustees, will match all gifts, regardless of the amount, with $100. If the team’s goal of 1,500 donors in one day is reached, Canavan will unlock a second match.</p> <p>“We’re grateful for the support of the entire 91ֱ�� community as we have planned this event,” says Skingel. “So many faculty, staff, and students have reached out to lend their talents and knowledge for the broadcast or livestream. Mark your calendars for April 26, and get ready to go all in!”</p> <p>How to participate:</p> <ul> <li> Come to the ‘Sco from 9 a.m. - 9 p.m. for food, giveaways, a watch party and more.</li> <li> Make a gift by visiting<a href="http://go.oberlin.edu/allin"> go.oberlin.edu/allin,</a> or call (800) 693-3167.</li> <li> Share this day on social media with your 91ֱ�� friends and family.

An 1885 graduate of the college, where he studied chemistry, Hall earned a fortune after discovering an <a href="http://new.oberlin.edu/arts-and-sciences/departments/chemistry/charlesmartinhallarticle.dot">inexpensive method for isolating pure aluminum from its compound</a> and going on to form the company now known as the Aluminum Company of America (Alcoa). A generous benefactor of the college, he made several direct gifts, and his <a href="http://www2.oberlin.edu/175/didyouknow-hall.html" target="_blank">estate left more than $10 million for the college endowment</a>. Hall’s generosity toward his alma mater “is largely responsible for creating the college we are so proud of,” says Bill Barlow, vice president for development and alumni affairs.</p> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-type field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item">Campus News</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-date field--type-datetime field--label-hidden field__item"><time datetime="2013-12-06T12:00:00Z">Fri, 12/06/2013 - 12:00</time> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-author field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Communications Staff</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=2592">Fundraisers</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=2419">Giving</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=2496">91ֱ�� History</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-pin-school-page field--type-boolean field--label-hidden field__item">Off</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-photo-gallery-top field--type-boolean field--label-hidden field__item">false</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-image-credit field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Yvonne Gay</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-media field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item"> </div> </article> <article> <h1>West Lecture Hall Renamed</h1> <p>Anonymous — Mon, 07 Nov 2016 18:20:52 +0000</p> <span>West Lecture Hall Renamed</span> <span><span>Anonymous (not verified)</span></span> <span><time datetime="2016-11-07T13:20:52-05:00" title="Monday, November 7, 2016 - 13:20">Mon, 11/07/2016 - 13:20</time> </span> <div class="text-content field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p>The large lecture hall on the Science Center’s first floor has gone by the name West Lecture Hall—because it’s on the west side of the building—ever since the center was completed in 2002.
