MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT Otterbein University continues its proud tradition of athletic and academic excellence and has enjoyed over 100 years of intercollegiate competition. During that time, the College’s mission has been to balance academics and athletic competition. Our commitment has been to the whole person, both in and out of the classroom. Our coaches are teachers first, mentors who make deep and lasting impressions on their students. While the drive to win is important, our real commitment lies in develop- ing leadership traits and the competitive spirit, which will aid our scholar- athletes throughout their lives. On behalf of Otterbein’s faculty, students and administration, we thank you for your support of Otterbein’s athletics programs in 2010-2011 and for your continuing involvement in their successes. 2010
