Krendl, the 20th president and the first woman to lead Otterbein University, took office July 1, 2009. President Krendl received her bachelor’s degree in English from Lawrence University, her master’s degree in journalism from The Ohio State University and her doctorate in communication from the University of Michigan. After holding teaching and administrative positions at Indiana University from 1983 through 1996, President Krendl joined Ohio University as dean of the Scripps College of Communication. In 2004, she was appointed Academic Vice President and Provost at Ohio University, and then in 2007, she was promoted to Executive Vice President and Provost of the institution. During President Krendl’s tenure, Otterbein has changed its name from College to University. It has also developed and launched its new undergraduate curriculum with its transition to semesters. The curriculum focuses on the distinctive character of Otterbein’s unique combination of curricular and experiential learning. In addition, since 2009, the institution has developed several new graduate programs in nursing, education, and business, including its first doctoral program, the Doctorate in Nursing Practice. Otterbein has also reached out to the region with the introduction of summer camps for audiences of all ages, a growing number of on-line courses, and special sections of courses for high school students. The institution has signed six new associate to baccalaureate degree agreements
