2022 Otterbein Holiday Tree Lighting

 

Enjoy sharing in this beloved tradition and watch the 2022 event. President John Comerford hosted the gathering on Towers Plaza with live music, a visit from Santa, a special holiday message from Chaplain Judy Guion-Utsler, and the big moment when the tree was illuminated.

It’s time to REFLECT
Otterbein is where so many things began for students — important learning, lasting friendships, and great futures. These memories from Otterbein holidays of the past remind us that friendships and Otterbein connections thankfully endure.
