OFFICE OF SERVICE–LEARNING EXPANDS TO CENTER FOR COMMUNITY AND CIVIC ENGAGEMENT

The Office of Service–Learning is expanding its role on campus. The office will be called the Center for Community and Civic Engagement (CCCE) and will be positioned to better support the goals of the University.

According to Director V. Jane Rosser, the CCCE "brings focus to our human and intellectual potential and will create a vision, infrastructure and programs to drive high impact community and civic engagement priorities in service to the public good."

The CCCE will support students, alumni, faculty and staff as well as community partners in high impact, community–based learning and community–engaged scholarship, interdisciplinary research and creative activities, and civic action to address critical public policy issues.

15–DAY HEAD COUNT
BGSU SPRINGS AHEAD

The University had positive news to share when this semester's 15–day head count was released Jan. 25. Enrollment is up among both undergraduate and graduate students on the Bowling Green campus, and overall enrollment is up by 4 percent over last spring.

Most notable was the number of graduate students, which rose by 229, a 7 percent increase from spring 2015. Much of the growth came through international student enrollment, particularly in the areas of computer science and business analytics, said Cecilia Castellano, vice provost for strategic enrollment planning.
