Greetings from the President

Welcome to Otterbein. We believe the best educational program is one that provides frequent and substantive interaction between students and teachers. Getting to know your hall directors, fellow students, staff, faculty—all the members of the Otterbein community who will become your friends and counselors—will be an enriching and rewarding experience for you.

I look forward to welcoming each of you to Otterbein and getting to know you in the coming years.

                                                                Welcome to Otterbein
                                                                Kathy Krendl

A Message from the Board of Trustees

Otterbein College is proud of its efforts to encourage all members of the College Community — trustees, administrators, faculty and students — to participate in the formulation of campus policies.

Since 1970 care has been taken to ensure such participation and concomitant responsibility for constructive debate and resolution of challenges. We particularly urge students to use the governance system to resolve matters of student concern.

Because the Trustees are legally responsible for the College, they have reserved the right to review the actions of the governance system and, in most cases, have delegated that authority to the President of the College.

We hope this Campus Life Handbook will make you more aware of your opportunities and responsibilities to make your College career a happy and rewarding one.
