Come visit the exhibit about Barack Obama and Occidental College --- President Barack Obama '83 entered Occidental College as a freshman in 1979 and continued as a sophomore through spring 1981. Photos of faculty and the campus from the archives; the La Encina annual; Obama's poems in Feast, the student poetry publication; and, pictures of Barack Obama as a student snapped by classmates offer a glimpse into Obama's two years at Oxy. Plus, the exhibit includes wood from the 2009 presidential platform donated to the archives by an Oxy alumna working in the capital!
