But Kaila must pick and choose how she spends her days. As a young 19-year-old woman battling cancer, she only has so many spoonfuls of energy to spare.

A new coach on campus, ready to lead the football team to victory. A guest speaker lecturing. Alumni speaking about what they’re doing now that they’ve graduated. These might sound like events happening on Otterbein’s campus right now, but they are actually news stories that appeared in the first issue of the Tan & Cardinal newspaper on Sept. 17, 1917. That four-page paper was the first of countless issues of the Tan & Cardinal to cover both life on campus and in the world at large once a week, every week. Today, students might not realize that the magazine they are so familiar with was once a newspaper. Its glossy cover, colorful photographs and bold logo make the T&C magazine unmistakable on Otterbein’s campus. Along with tandcmedia.org, the student news website, the magazine still shares the mission of the newspaper it evolved from. Together the website and magazine tell important stories, and tell them well. As of fall 2017, the Tan & Cardinal has succeeded in telling those stories for 100 years.

When Meredith Ulmer decided to switch her major to public relations, she never could have guessed she would wind up becoming the social media specialist for one of the world’s largest fast food chains. Now, she works for Wendy’s, and you’ve probably read her work without ever knowing that the woman behind it once walked down Home Street or ate in the Campus Center. Ulmer’s tweets from the Wendy’s Twitter account are famous for their roasting of other burger joints (frozen patties and all) and even of Wendy’s fans themselves. Ulmer gets to interact with Wendy’s customers like Carter Wilkerson, the teenager who got free chicken nuggets for a year after his tweet got over 3 million retweets and broke the Twitter record for most retweets. The hashtag #nuggsforcarter expanded into a campaign for donations to the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption. Ulmer’s job is fun, challenging and allows her to make a difference. Find out just how she got where she is today after starting out as an Otterbein student.

Food insecurity is not something most students think about when they think of college. However, many students face this reality while at school, sometimes not knowing where their next meal will come from. Haylie Schmoll, now a junior public relations major, was faced with this harsh truth when a student in need approached her in the OtterDen. One casual conversation would help bring the issue of food insecurity to the forefront of Otterbein’s campus, resulting in the creation of Otterbein’s food pantry, the Promise House.

It’s tradition: a mob of people lined up outside the doors of Schneider’s Bakery at 1 a.m. Customers used to need cash in hand to buy a doughnut and a carton of milk for $1.25. But on May 12, 2017, Katie Zvolanek became the first person to swipe her card at Schneider’s in the 61 years it has been open.

A locker room can say a lot about
a team—messy or spotless, relaxed or pumped, quiet or loud. It’s the space
where countless inspirational speeches have been given, game plans outlined and
equipment strapped on with more reverence than if those shin guards were
actually precious family heirlooms. As Otterbein’s women’s soccer team prepared
to face Ohio Wesleyan in its home opener, the most striking element in the
locker room was the bass. Blaring rap music vibrated the lockers as 33 girls
got game-day ready. Players filled every inch of space, on the floor lacing up ankle
braces, on benches laughing and joking and at the mirror slipping on headbands
and tightening braids. With everyone on top of one another, it’s hard not to
think that this is a whole lot of girls squeezed into one locker room, a fact
not helped by the 13 seniors making up more than a third of the team. Then
again, no one’s complaining about those numbers.
