Creative talent is something that cannot be eliminated with the limits of a work schedule. It is a testing balance between who you are and where you came from.

Known for their riding pants and boots, Otterbein’s equestrian team is recognized as a club sport. The program has met a lot of marketing goals by offering a riding scholarship, hosting high school riding shows and advertising Otterbein on saddle pads and equipment when traveling to shows. These tactics have helped increase awareness and allowed Otterbein to be considered as one of the premier equestrian schools across the nation. However, there is still a considerable amount of confusion and lack of knowledge about the equestrian team throughout Otterbein’s campus.

Maya walked to the bus station, the warm, sticky air of Singapore hanging over her. A slight breeze cooled her face as the sounds and symbols of Mandarin Chinese circled her brain after her kumon, or tutoring, lesson. She stopped as usual at the convenience store to pick up cheesy sausages or banana gummy candy with an ice tea for her hour-long commute home. She sips her tea as she waits for the bus, not feeling a care in the world.
Kaila Kullgren lives by a theory: everything we do in life costs us a spoon. Taking a shower, hanging out with friends or even walking from the bedroom to the kitchen take energy. 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.
The dull blue light of unread emails blinks on the iPhone sitting on the paper-infested desk. A whole spectrum of colored Post-it notes line the edge of the desktop computer, framing the screen. Scribbles of phrases and names litter the chalkboard on the wall beside the desk as the air conditioning unit hums its own song to fill the office. The pulsing light is ignored by Stephen for the moment as he focuses on a conversation with a resident assistant, or RA, on his staff about how one of the laundry machines in Davis Hall is not working. Again.

On May 5, 2017, Otterbein transitioned from the use of Google applications to Microsoft’s Office 365. For students, faculty and staff, this meant that everyone’s email accounts, calendars and contacts migrated over to the new email service called Outlook. This isn’t Otterbein’s first encounter with Outlook; in March 2012, Otterbein made the initial switch from Outlook to Google. Now that the university is going back to Outlook, there are many questions being raised, one being why they decided to switch back. According to Tahsha Harmon, director of technical support and training, the decision to switch back to Outlook was for the students’ benefit. Otterbein made the switch for three main reasons. • To prepare students for the business world • To utilize the collaboration tools with full versions of Microsoft Office products • To use a better security to protect private information Otterbein used to host its own email server. Keeping up with spam issues and corrupted accounts was a daunting and time-consuming task. The system even became blacklisted from sending any emails when a big spam attack hit the campus. To eliminate these issues, Otterbein decided to switch to a hosted model. This would provide stability for the university and allow students to use apps and collaboration tools online. Outlook is also widely used by businesses and professionals. “We are graduating students with experience in using the very same platform that is the most widely used in businesses today,” Harmon said. The move to go back to Outlook was not a popular one for many on campus. Here’s how students and faculty feel about the switch and their thoughts on the issue.
