Black Student Union Fun at Homecoming Parade.
The Otterbein community came together on the lawn of Towers Hall for another memory-filled Homecoming & Family Weekend. Highlights included celebrating the Class of 1975’s Golden 50th Reunion, Alumni Awards, OtterFest, and the annual Homecoming parade and football game. Alumnus Phil Kelly (Wolfe) ’93, of ABC6 WSYX in Columbus, served as the emcee for this year’s OtterFest. All in all, the weekend lived up to the “Come Back to the Nest” spirit — bridging generations, celebrating traditions, and filling campus with Cardinal pride.
