Equine Science To

n 1962

, a gift of 110 undeveloped acres was given to

Otterbein. Today, that land is poised to make a huge impact on the

physical and academic face of the College.

As Westerville grew over the last four decades, the acreage has

remained a valuable piece of land for Otterbein, which is finding

less and less room for expansion around the main campus location.

Expansion to the undeveloped land became part of the College’s plan

in recent years, but what to do with the

land had been a topic of discussion for

decades.

A recent lead gift of $1.5 million

from The McCuan Family Trust has

provided the answer. The land will

house the College’s 25-year-old

academic Equine Science program.

Instead of tract homes, this land

will be home to The Patrick and Jill

McCuan Center for Equine Studies.

Investing in

Across the country, it is clear to see that great schools produce great leaders with enormous potential and, when provided with the opportunity to give back, these leaders can help to advance and evolve the fine institutions from which they came. It is a cycle of continual growth and an intricate framework built upon generosity and gratitude as well as a passion for building a brighter future. Such a framework exists right here at Otterbein and, with the help of such great leaders as have passed through this College, so too do they continue to give and to build for a better tomorrow.

But in what ways do these leaders find themselves returning to Otterbein the priceless gift of opportunity – an opportunity they themselves received so many years ago?

By giving to Otterbein which helps to ensure that future students have the same, and in some cases, even better, opportunities to learn and grow from all that the College has to offer. One method of giving is through Otterbein’s many endowment funds, the majority of which have been set up in honor of our great faculty leaders.

Nearly 20 years ago, Dr. Carol Ventresca ’76 created, along with Emerita Dr. Eva

Sebo, an endowed award in honor of Dr. Albert E. Lovejoy. “This

opportunity (endowments) provides alumni with a connection to the

school and to current and future students,” said Dr. Ventresca.

“These funds testify to the strength of the educational

program and the excellence of its faculty.”

Dr. Lovejoy, former chair of the

Department of Sociology, feels that

the Dr. Albert

Lovejoy Award in Sociology has best

aided Otterbein in its attempts to

reach a heightened awareness of globalization. “My feeling is that whatever the fund may go toward, I hope that its generosity encourages students to spread the word and make serious changes.”

“I was really quite amazed and surprised when a colleague of mine and former student notified me that they had raised the money to generate the award” said Dr. Lovejoy. “Over time I suppose enough people were able to tolerate me that enough money was raised to develop an endowment fund,” recalled Lovejoy.

An endowed fund is one of the best methods for building upon opportunities each year because it not only increases through generous donations from alumni but also from the interest generated from the pooled endowed fund investments. It is this interest that is used each year for the growth and development of Otterbein. Individual endowed funds are created each year which range from scholarships and financial aid to research support for faculty to assisting with daily College operating costs.

And at the very root of these endowment funds are some of the best properties for uniting past and present.

“We are not just moving ahead but we are taking the time to remember the past by naming these funds after faculty and alumni” said Kris Lehman ’81, one of several sponsors of The Gary Tirey Award in Music. “It is rewarding to alums to see those legacies carried forward,” said Mr. Lehman.

Mr. Lehman’s feelings are echoed by Dr. Ventresca. “We donors are not only continuing our connection to Otterbein, but we are actually building new pathways for students to succeed and grow.” She continued, “It has been my experience that a donor is more likely to understand the value of their contribution when they see direct results: it may be a new building, an academic program, or a student successfully graduating because of a scholarship.”

But whatever the cause for donation may be, one thing is for sure, it is the donors that make a difference. As Dr. Ventresca notes, whether alumni or proud friends of Otterbein, donors create an unending circle of growth and generosity. Through the countless donations made by those

The mission of Otterbein Alumni Clubs is to serve. Serve who? Serve the community. Serve Otterbein. Serve future students.

In 2007 club leadership teams in Akron/Canton, Central Ohio, Dayton and Southwest Florida focused on accomplishing that mission. They organized, recruited and served others. They also had fun getting to know each other. What does the coming year hold for Otterbein clubs? Clubs will be collaborating with the Office of Admission via the O.A.R.S. program (Otterbein Alumni Recruiting Students.) Clubs will be exploring new service activities like participating in community food drives. Clubs will be continuing traditional service activities such as the annual

Summer Send-off Cookouts for new students. This past year was a great start for club development; 2008 can be even better. Take a look at page 26 of this issue. There are quite a few Cardinals flocking together on that map.

The mission of Otterbein Alumni Clubs is to serve. Serve who? That depends on you. Make 2008 the year that you show your Cardinal pride. Shake your tail feathers with Cardinals in your region and make a difference. Who knows? You might have some fun along the way too.
