Legacy Students, the Inauguration and Homecoming

This is my first opportunity to greet you officially as the 20th president of Otterbein College. I want to thank everyone for the gracious welcome. From the June Bug Jamboree, to the 4th of July parade, to the reception at President Gordon Gee’s Bexley home, my first summer continues to be a series of lively and well-attended events.

I have met many alumni and friends and have enjoyed hearing all of their Otterbein stories. Now I’m looking forward to the academic year and to getting acquainted with our new and returning students.

The entering class of 2013, like many before it, includes about 20 percent of students coming from “legacy” families, that is, those who have at least one family member who previously graduated from Otterbein. These legacy students help us carry on many Otterbein traditions.

They lead the early morning charge on Schneider’s for warm doughnuts and milk; they remind their classmates that the chimes that sound across the college green at noon are serenade songs that Otterbein students have sung at special events for decades. Many of them have heard parents and grandparents sing those traditional songs over the years.

Keeping these traditions alive and keeping alumni involved in helping us recruit incoming students extends the reach of the Otterbein family over many generations and around the world. We appreciate your help in attracting both undergraduate and graduate students to our programs.

You will also be hearing more about plans to launch new and expanded programs through the Graduate

School and Center for Continuing Studies. The recent reorganization of this unit will help Otterbein respond to the pressing needs of central Ohio residents. As it has done in the past, Otterbein must develop programs and opportunities to serve adult students who seek to refresh their skills and explore new career paths. Watch the website for announcements and new developments.

I hope you have all received your Homecoming announcements and have the dates on your calendar. We will begin the weekend with the inauguration on Oct. 23 at 10:30 a.m. All students, faculty, staff, and alumni are invited to this event. I would be honored by your presence and will be there to greet you at the luncheon following the ceremony. The event will be a celebration of Otterbein’s past, present and future and will feature the students from the Art, Music, and Theatre and Dance Departments. It is also the 100th anniversary of Otterbein’s marching band. Friday evening the Theatre Department will be performing Babes in Arms. Following the Homecoming parade on Saturday morning, the Cardinals will take on crosstown rival Capital. I predict a big win for the Cardinals! A full schedule of Homecoming events for the weekend is available on the website at www.otterbein.edu/alumni.(See the back cover and page 38 for more information.) I promise you it will be a good time for everyone. Bring your whole Otterbein family and all those legacy and legacy-to-be children. I look forward to seeing you there and hearing your Otterbein story. ~ Kathy A. Krendl
