message from the president Welcome to another season of Cardinal Football! As you know, Otterbein is a member of the NCAA Division III where we have true student-athletes. Rather than watching athletes for whom academics is an afterthought, you are here to see students who understand the importance of their total educational experience — inside and outside the formal classroom. These students play because they love the game, learn valuable lessons from the experience, and get to represent their University. I am awed by their commitment — spending countless hours to achieve excellence on the field, in the classroom, and in life. Thank you for being here to support them. Go Cards! John Comerford President, Otterbein University

OTTERBEIN UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL GAME DAY PROGRAM 2018
the significance of number five Over a decade-long tradition, the Otterbein coaching staff annually selects one player each season to wear the number 5. This numeral is donned as a yearly tribute to Grove City native and former quarterback Josh Worthington, who passed early Christmas morning, 2004, after his vehicle was struck by a drunk driver. He will always be remembered for the hard work, dedication and commitment he displayed as a promising young player. It is an honor and a privilege to be selected by the coaches to wear this number, which usually comes as a senior. You must not only be a respected player, but also demonstrate great character. Players to have been awarded this honor include: 2005- Ricardo Lenhart 2006- Justin Ross 2007- Justin Ross 2008- Brady Collins
2009- Eric Yates
2010- Justin Hochstetler 2011- Matt Ross 2012- Kiefer Hinkle 2013 – Zack Grieves 2014 – Ty Compton 2015 – John Pyles 2016 - Dalton Jarvis

Enrollment Otterbein offers more than 70 undergraduate majors; seven master’s programs; and a doctorate in nursing practice (DNP). Otterbein’s commitment to opportunity started with its founding in 1847 as one of the nation’s first universities to welcome women and persons of color to its community of teachers and learners, which now numbers 2,400 undergraduate and 500 graduate students. Otterbein remains committed to its relationship with the United Methodist Church and its spirit of inclusion, and welcomes people of all backgrounds to Otterbein’s Model Community.

The Campus Otterbein’s 286-acre campus in the heart of Westerville includes the historic Towers Hall, constructed in 1872. Renowned for its Department of Theatre and Dance, Otterbein students perform plays for the community in The Fritsche Theatre at Cowan Hall, which was renovated in 2005. The Department of Art displays art from students, faculty, the University collection and visiting exhibits in the Miller Gallery in the Art and Communication Building, Fisher Gallery in Roush Hall, and the Frank Museum of Art. The Department of Music also offers public performances of opera, symphony, marching band and student choral groups. Classes began in fall 2016 at The Point, Otterbein’s new STEAM Innovation Center, brings students in science, technology, engineering, mathematics and arts programs together with professionals from leading private and public sector organizations for unique experiential learning opportunities, leading to internships and job placements. Faculty Otterbein’s student-to-faculty ratio of 11:1 offers students the opportunity to receive personalized attention from their instructors. Professors are active in campus affairs, serve as advisers to students, and participate in a unique sabbatical program to research and study recent developments in their fields.
Athletics Men and women compete in the Ohio Athletic Conference, NCAA Division III. There are 11 varsity sports for men and 10 for women. A complete intramural program is available to all students. Community Service The White House has recognized Otterbein “With Distinction” on the President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll every year since it was created. In 2008, Otterbein won the President’s Award for General Community Service. Approximately 80 percent of the student body participated in community service giving 70,000 hours of service to the community. In addition, 60 service-learning courses enrolled over 1,000 students that same year. Otterbein has been recognized by Washington Monthly as a Top 50 school for contributions to the public good.

knowledge of and respect for another culture’s worldview, its values, customs, and traditions.

OTTERBEIN UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL GAME DAY PROGRAM 2018
facilities A new era in Otterbein football began in the fall of 2005 as the Cardinals moved into a new home in Memorial Stadium. The $3.2 million grandstand, built on the same site of old Memorial Stadium, was dedicated on Sept. 17, 2006 shortly before Otterbein defeated cross-town rival Capital, 17-14, by scoring on its last two possessions of the game. The grandstand was financed through private funds, raised through the Clements Foundation and the Otterbein “O” Club, both long-time contributors to athletics and other academic programs at Otterbein. The grandstand, with handicap access, seats 2,400, including a section in the middle with 500 stadium chairs, and a press box with elevator. The stadium also features state-of-the-art locker rooms, a training room, equipment room, and “O” Club room. Memorial Stadium received a $2.1 million upgrade over the summer of 2014. The natural grass surface was replaced with Crossflex HP turf and a new 13-millimeter sandwich track was installed. Lights, courtesy of Cellular One, were added to Memorial Stadium in 1996.
The Frank and Vida Clements Recreation and Fitness Center opened in the fall of 2002. The $9.5 million center enhances the curriculum and clinical experiences for students preparing for careers in health, fitness and athletic training. In addition, the center significantly increases the facilities for the athletic training, sport management, and health and fitness programs; increases the health, wellness and recreation programs for students, faculty and staff; enhances Otterbein’s capacity to attract future students; and expands the opportunities for partnership with the wider Columbus community. The center has two components: a 75,000 square-foot field house, complete with a sanctioned six-lane, 200-meter indoor track; and a twostory connector to the existing Rike Center, which features a high-tech cardiovascular fitness area, fully-equipped training and rehabilitation center, coaching offices, classrooms and a student lounge area. Built in 1974, the Rike Center houses physical education facilities and offices. The domed roof encloses an intercollegiate hardwood basketball floor with seating for 3,100; equipped weight training room; two handball courts; and locker rooms for varsity teams and physical education classes. Conventional classrooms and offices are located on the perimeter. A $300,000 gift from the Rike family of Dayton inaugurated the capital campaign to finance construction of the Rike Center, which was built for about $1.5 million. In the spring of 2008, an $84,000 weight room was installed in the Rike Center, providing new flooring, free weights and equipment for use by student-athletes, students and staff. The project was spearheaded by the “O” Club with support from Robert Corbin ’49, Tom Weisenstein and the Fishbaugh Memorial Fund. Additional sports facilities at Otterbein include tennis courts, and separate fields for softball, baseball and soccer. A 2.5-mile cross country course, which meanders Alum Creek and traverses woods and farmland, opened in the fall of 1995. Gifts from the Otterbein alumni and friends have helped provide educational
opportunities through athletics for sportsminded students. Former student-athletes have continued their success in coaching, teaching, recreational and professional fields-evidence of quality educational experiences offered at Otterbein University.
