About

On April 23, 2024, Otterbein University celebrates Founders Day of Giving! As one of the nationโ€™s first universities to welcome women and persons of color to its model community of teachers and learners, Otterbein remains committed to standing as a college of opportunity and advancing the common good.

Tackling the challenges and opportunities of today while celebrating our 177th anniversary and the future beyond, it is imperative we honor the generations of Cardinals who came before us and create an impressive future for those who come after us.

Help continue the transformative power of an Otterbein education with your gift of $25, $100, or $1,000 during this 48-hour giving challenge by supporting your passion!


Make your gift in honor or memory of a professor, coach, staff member, or classmate who helped shape your Otterbein story!
