Lifelong Learning at Otterbein Granville
Take College Courses, Attend Concerts, Interact with Students, and More
Otterbein Granville shares a special bond with nearby Denison University. In fact, Denison alumni helped start our community in 1996, and the land on which the campus is built was Denison property.
Since then, the connection between Otterbein Granville and Denison has benefited both communities. Our residents attend on-campus:
- Lectures
- Concerts
- Plays
- Athletic events
Members of the Denison administration and alumni sit on the board of Otterbein Granville, and our residents support Denison as well. We enjoy hosting students and faculty in the Community Center for lectures, workshops, and other special events.
