Homecoming & Family Weekend 2024!
September 20-21, 2024 | Campus
Mark your calendar for Otterbein’s signature alumni and families event!
This fall, we’re continuing our two-day format and bringing back some favorite events from last year’s celebration. We’re also making a few exciting changes, based on your feedback:
- The entire event will take place on the Towers Lawn, under the trees!
- The Friday night concert will feature an alumni band! We’ll share details soon.
- The Celebration of Otterbein Awards will take place on Friday night. All are welcome!
- Saturday morning’s State of the University will become more informal, including time for Q&A with President Comerford.
- We’ll have more lawn games, plus additional activities for kids on Saturday morning.
- More of the seating will be away from the stage, allowing for better conversation opportunities.
And that’s just a short list of some of the ways we’re making Homecoming & Family Weekend even more fun for alumni, families, and community members of all ages.
