Otterbein University and Antioch University came together to form the Coalition for the Common Good as founding partners committed to reimagining higher education through shared values of access, equity, and social justice. Their collaboration laid the groundwork for a new kind of national university system — one that welcomes additional mission-aligned institutions seeking to amplify their impact while preserving their unique identities. Together, we are building a movement for transformative education that serves both individuals and the common good.
