The Cord: The three-colored cord recognizes your status as a Class of 2026 donor and an investor in Otterbein's future.

If you are unable to attend the in-person Philanthropy Education Session, you can still earn a philanthropy cord. Please contact Kenzie Prickett at prickett1@otterbein.edu to learn more or to ask any questions.
