The Oberlin College Lab Crawl is an annual open house that provides a fun and informal interaction with different research labs and opportunities around campus. The purpose of the lab crawl is to encourage students to seek out research on campus whether that be in labs, through honors, coursework, and/or volunteering. Lab Crawl gives students the opportunity to interact with research and opportunities on campus, through actual lab experiments, archive research, art practices, and everything in between.
