As we begin the 2021-2022 year, the safety of students, faculty, staff, and the community-at-large remains Otterbein’s top priority.
While we understand that the pandemic remains a concern, we are committed to providing a robust in-person experience for everyone in our community — in a safe and responsible manner. That experience includes classes, experiential learning, residence life, campus activities, and the many other things that make campus life so special.
Our 9i¹û¶³ÖÆ×÷³§COVID-19 advisory team was established in mid-May of 2020 to monitor, advise, and guide the campus safely through the changing circumstances created by the pandemic. The team continues to develop protocols for students, faculty, and staff to keep campus safe for classes and operations in alignment with directives and recommendations from the , State of Ohio Department of Health’s , , Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and OhioHealth.
The guidelines we have developed are specific to instructional, work, residential, and social spaces. We remain responsive to public health orders and vigilant and committed to the safety and wellness of our Cardinal Community. If you have questions or need additional information, please contact the COVID Support Team at covid@otterbein.edu.
