Well, your daughter is just one person. My son, another future Oberlin student, is another. My son agreed with me that the campaign was lame and contentless. So we have to step outside of our immediate experiences to see the reactions to the campaign. Unless Oberlin is trying to significantly change the types of students they are attracting, which we have no reason to believe they are, the current students are a good measure of how the campaign plays with prospective students. Also, I attended an information session where the Oberlin staff asked prospective students and parents what they thought of the fearless campaign and there was no support for the slogan. Most people were polite and sidestepped the question. I spoke up.
