Student-led and Cardinal-powered, a new organization called Alumni and Campus Engagement (ACE) is building a bridge between current students and Otterbein alumni to create connections, opportunities, and a stronger future for the University.

As ACE continues to grow, the organization is looking to spread its wings through new events, initiatives, and partnerships — including a growing relationship with the Alumni Leadership Council. Together, students and alumni are working to keep the Cardinal community connected, engaged, and full of Cardinal pride.

If you would like to collaborate with ACE, contact: alumniinfo@otterbein.edu.
