You’re in luck ― the Otterbein Ambassadors program should help. The Otterbein Ambassadors are a group of resident volunteers who assist our new residents in becoming acclimated to their new home and campus life.

Not only are they similar to the traditional “Welcome Wagon,” but they are also available to answer questions, accompany their new neighbor to activities, make introductions, and help you feel at home.
