Reflecting on Ready Day 2026! ❤️ What an incredible day of connection, learning, and preparing for the future!

A special shoutout to all the alumni who returned to the nest as panelists, presenters, and volunteers. Thank you for sharing your experiences, offering valuable advice, and showing up for our current students. Your guidance and support make a lasting impact, and we loved having you back on campus!

Ready Day is a true team effort, made possible by our dedicated staff volunteers, alumni, employer partners, and students. Our second Ready Day was a wonderful success, and we’re excited to see how this tradition continues to grow!

Once a Cardinal, always a Cardinal. ❤️

Calling all Alumni: Come Network with Seniors!

On Wednesday, Sept. 23, at 5 p.m., we're hosting alumni on campus from all career disciplines to network with members of our Class of 2027 Senior Class. We're looking for a few more alumni who can help them navigate the transition from college to career, and we'd love to have you back on campus!

The networking receptions give Otterbein Seniors the opportunity to practice networking, gain confidence, and connect with professionals and are often where some of the most meaningful connections happen, giving students a chance to ask questions, seek advice, and build relationships with professionals like you. Whether you're sharing advice, reflecting on your own career journey, or simply making connections, your presence can make a lasting impact on a student's experience.

If you can join us, please RSVP by September 20, and once you RSVP, you'll see the campus networking location based on your job/career industry.
