There are lots of exciting events, lingering deadlines and practical procedures awaiting you. This site is designed to help ease your transition from the student realm to the alumni world. Learn more about what you must do to prepare for graduation and about the celebrations before and after commencement day.

Many menu links take you to the Registrar's commencement site. You will need to navigate back to the Class of 2009 site.

Please check back to this site often as we will continue to update information. If you have any questions, or would like to suggest improvement or additions to this site, feel free to contact the Alumni Staff at AlumniInfo@otterbein.edu or call 614-823-1650.
