Each organization has a faculty or staff advisor who oversees the group's daily activities. Involvement can be very time consuming and Shanon feels her time commitments have made her a better student academically. My involvement has taught me how to manage my schedule. Shanon's future plans are to attend graduate school and pursue a career in a public relations firm. I think Otterbein's reputation is due to the availability of the faculty and staff.
Professors here go out of their way to help their students.
Students immediately accept the challenges of Otterbein's educational programs and in addition gain the necessary independence to prepare them for the future. The biggest adjustment for Katlyn was the freedom and trust given to her in determining her own success. I didn't have someone pushing me to go to class or get the best grade that I can. My success is now based on my own self-determination. After graduation, Katlyn wants to do promotional work for a large corporation or television station.
