It’s time to be PROUD
At Otterbein, community and tradition are values we hold dear. We hope you enjoy two of those long-standing beloved traditions — the Concert Choir Performance and the annual Tree Lighting Celebration.
2022 Otterbein Choir Holiday Concert
Enjoy the sounds of the Otterbein Concert Choir 2022 Holiday Concert.
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.
