You are a vital part of the Otterbein family.

Otterbein values the opportunity to work with you and your student throughout their entire university experience and beyond. We’re grateful that your family is now a Cardinal family. Our goal is to create a partnership that enhances your student’s success.

Otterbein has created an option for families wishing to have meaningful involvement in their student’s college experience by being a voice for all parents. In 2021, the Family Engagement Network was launched to provide opportunities to learn, make suggestions, support your student, and attend special events. You may become a member of the Family Engagement Network through your support of Otterbein University. Simply use the donation button on this page and choose ‘Parent & Family” as your affiliation on the giving page. Thank you for your support!
