Partner Profile Oberlin College is an independent coeducational institution comprised of two divisions, the College of Arts and Sciences and the Conservatory of Music. Beginning in 2004, Oberlin began purchasing green power as part of a comprehensive environmental policy initiated by College President Nancy Dye and developed by the College's Environmental Policy Advisory Committee. The premium that the College pays to purchase the green power will be funneled back into the community through a sustainable Energy Reserve Fund which will be used to create among other things energy renewal projects that benefit Oberlin residents.
