Otterbein Club of Athletic Training Students (OCATS)
OCATS is designed to provide an environment for social and academic learning. The mentorship program will assist new students with meeting upperclassmen and getting information about Otterbein College and our athletic training program. The vision is to provide a stimulating learning environment, which in turn will produce athletic trainers of the highest quality.

Otterbein Equestrian Team
The Otterbein College Equestrian Team has something valuable to offer horse people of all experience levels. These opportunities are open to all, even those who choose not to ride and/or compete. Those who choose not to ride are invited and encouraged to participate in all team functions such as social gatherings, campouts, picnics, horse shows, and invitationals.
