When students
were firemen
Members of the Presidential Search Committee have been busy over the past months, sorting through resumes, conducting phone conversations and
interviewing nine candidates to be the next president of Otterbein College.
From the nine, three were invited to come to campus for two-day visits in early November. During the visits, each person spent time touring with students as well as talking with students, faculty, staff, alumni and area civic leaders. Many forums were held to engage open dialog including questions and answers. During the visits not only did the candidate learn more about the College and its culture but the campus community
A new President’s Quarter Century Club was announced at the Welcome Back Dinner in September 2008. Faculty, staff and retirees who have worked at Otterbein 25 years or more were inducted and presented with a silver club pin. To find out more about the year-long celebration of “25 Years of an Engaged Otterbein,” see page 4. To see a timeline of the past 25 years of Otterbein’s growth and successes, please visit:
www.otterbein.edu/engaged
Here you can revisit memories and share your own experiences and photos! We look forward to hearing from you!
The Quarter Century Club
learned more about the candidates’ leadership skills and vision toward higher education and the challenges presented in the upcoming years including affordability, access, and an anticipated population dip in high school students throughout Ohio.
Once the visits were concluded, the campus was asked to submit its feedback. The feedback was reviewed by the search committee. Alumni may review the resumes of the candidates by contacting Mary Kerr at mkerr@otterbein. edu or calling 614-823-1420. It is anticipated a decision will be made and announced in early December. Alumni will be notified via email and information will be immediately posted at www.otterbein.edu.

It’s a wonderful and kind thing t
hat you do for the studen ts at Otterbein College. What a wo
nderful group o
f people to donate their hard earned money to a schola
rship so that yo
ung students that you have not even m
et can continue t
heir education at Otterbein. Because of the gen
erosity of the E
ndowed Scholarship donors and others, our da
ughter Courtney
, was able to stay at Otterbein. Be cause of Courtney’s a
cademic grades and dedication t
o her work and family, Otterbein offered her scholarships.
Without you, the donors, this wo uld not have been possible.
Courtney is ver
y proud, as a
re we, that she w
ill be able to continue her wonderful education at the Co
llege she loves. Sh
e can’t wait to be a first grade teacher and give so
me of the wonderful exper
iences that she has learned at Ott
erbein to her young students. We hope some da
y to give back to a scholarship so t
hat another student will be a
ble to complete their dreams a
lso. God b less everyone and thank you. Thanks so much, Jed A. Blair -ANY IN LOVED LIVED YEAR RECEIVED SPOUSES ACKNOWLEDGE
