From the President
At Ottawa University we are proud of our nearly 150-year heritage of educating traditional and adult students for lifetimes of faith, service, leadership, and significance. From our founding in 1865 in Ottawa, Kansas, we have grown to an institution that today serves more than 7,000 students through our residential campus in Ottawa, our adult and professional studies campuses in Phoenix, Chandler and Surprise, Arizona; Brookfield and Oak Creek, Wisconsin; Overland Park, Kansas; Jeffersonville, Indiana; and everywhere online.
Our students come to us with a wide variety of motivations. While your journey, like most, may begin with a desire to earn a degree or credential for certification or licensure, you may quickly realize that you have more potential and opportunity than that.
I invite you to explore all of the learning programs available to you – in your hometown and online. When you enroll you will start with our Success Foundation Courses and you will be supported by your Personal Success Coach who will guide the successful transition of learning to life goals…to a life of significance.
Kevin C. Eichner
President
