About Cardinal Conversations
Mission
The mission of Cardinal Conversations: Fostering Connections is to bring alumni and friends of the University together to provide them with campus updates, familiarize them with University priorities, and share options that celebrate their student experience and impact the next generation of Otterbein students.
Purpose
The purpose of Cardinal Conversations: Fostering Connections is to work in collaboration with a current donor or champion of the University to highlight their enthusiasm for the institution. Hosts will partner with a member of the Institutional Advancement team to share updates on the Campus Center, new leadership at Otterbein, and other University priorities. They will also learn about the joy of giving and how they can fund giving initiatives on campus to support students, faculty, and programs. Examples are: online giving initiatives, the Joanne Van Sant Society, President’s Society, the Otterbein Fund Scholarship Program, and sustainer giving.
