A Message from the President
The new year started with national recognition for BGSU at the NCAA convention in Nashville, Tenn. BGSU athletics and student organization We Are One Team received the 2017 Award for Diversity and Inclusion presented by the NCAA in partnership with the Minority Opportunities Athletic Association.

More than 1,000 students, faculty and staff participated in the 2017 Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service! Falcons showed their commitment to Dr. King's dream through their service and civic activities.

BGSU faculty shape the lives of tomorrow's leaders inside the classroom and through innovative research. Drs. Wendy Manning, Distinguished Research Professor of Sociology; Peggy Giordano, Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Sociology; and Monica Longmore, professor of sociology, recently received $2 million in grants to expand the impact of our Center for Family and Demographic Research.

Congratulations to our cheerleading team on placing third at the Universal Cheerleaders Association National Championship! The competition included colleges and universities across the nation, and the Falcons won the bronze!

U.S. News and World Report recently issued its rankings for online programs. Three BGSU programs earned top honors, including our online criminal justice master's program, which ranked eighth, up two spots from 2016!

Join BGSU Women for Philanthropy to inspire, educate and transform the philanthropic experience at this great university. You can enhance and shape the lives of our students for years to come.

Regards,

Mary Ellen Mazey, Ph.D.
President
