Create Your Legacy

Join classmates and support our Class of '73 50th Reunion Gift!

It is notable that 99% of current OWU students receive merit- or need-based financial aid. Our gifts have never been more important. Our 50th Reunion Class Gift will directly support the areas of greatest need at OWU, including student scholarships. By making a gift in honor of our 50th reunion, you will help ensure that current and future Bishops will one day celebrate their 50th reunions! Please help us reach our goal of $400,000.

Where to Stay

Members of the reunion committee have contacted some hotels and motels in the Delaware area to try to secure group rates. They are still working on this. As we get closer to Reunion Weekend, more information will be provided.

Limited on-campus housing will be identified, and sign-ups for it will open when reunion registration opens March 1.

Here’s what we have currently:

Quality Inn—1251 Columbus Pike (Route 23), Delaware, (740) 363-8869

We have a very favorable rate of $70 per night for all of their rooms including suites, kings and queens. The manager has been very willing to work with us including honoring the $70 rate on Thursday night. Free wifi, parking and breakfast is included.

The Pacer Inn—259 S. Sandusky Street, Delaware, (740) 362-0050

The hotel has only 33 rooms and will not be offering a discount. The rate is $170 (king) and $180-$185 (Two Queens). The Pacer Inn is the only hotel that is walkable to campus (10-minute walk, just 1/2 mile) which might be important to some classmates who will not have a car. You can also book a room online at Pacerinnandsuitesmotel.com.
