Dr. Thomas Snitch ‘75, ‘15 implores graduates to find their passion      

     Dr. Thomas SnitchDr. Thomas Snitch said he found his life’s passion standing in the middle of the Serengeti plains in Kenya. After working for decades as a nuclear weapons negotiator, and then with some of the world’s largest companies, he was given a choice.
     “An old ranger said to me, ‘We are losing our elephants, our rhinos are being slaughtered and our lions are dying. Can you help us?’ The proverbial light bulb went off and I realized that all of my years since leaving BGSU had come down to this one moment. In the middle of Africa, maybe I could do something.”

     Snitch told the graduates that their diploma puts them in an exclusive group, which comes with great responsibilities.
     “Only one in a 1,000 people ever earns a university degree—one out of 1,000. That is the good news; the bad news is that 999 others did not have this opportunity. Simply stated, you must always be proud to have attended this fine University and to hold BGSU dear to your heart.”

secure spot on city councilAlumna uses life experience to secure spot on city council

     Juvenile probation officer, high school science teacher, airport worker and mortgage banker are just a few of the titles 2003 alumna Janee Ayers had to take on to make ends meet in the leaner years. While her days of loading luggage on the conveyor belt at the Detroit Metropolitan Airport are a far cry from her current position as a Detroit councilwoman, Ayers has held true to her roots, even after climbing to the top of a pool of more than 130 candidates who sought appointment to the high-ranking position.
     After graduating with a political science degree from BGSU, Ayers had a job offer in Chicago, but chose to head back to Detroit to stay invested in her struggling hometown. She worked two, sometimes three, jobs to pay the bills and felt the pains of the plunging economy when the school where she was teaching closed its doors in 2007.
She took a job at the MGM Grand Casino and became part of the casino employees’ union bargaining team. Soon after, she became recording secretary for Unite Here and later a vice president of the Metro Detroit AFL-CIO. When the vacancy for the at-large city council position presented itself, Ayers went after it, feeling confident in her experiences.
     “I said I am going to try it out and see what happens. I work in Detroit. I live in Detroit and I feel like I represent what the people of Detroit are. We are resilient.”
She credits BGSU for providing a strong base on how to work with people from diverse backgrounds. Ayers said she plans to run for council in November 2016.

     “I want to impress upon you the importance of being an athlete for life,” said Bork. “Being a Falcon student-athlete is a great accomplishment, but it’s just the beginning. We’re at our best when we stretch ourselves and set high goals … that’s what athletics is all about, and it sets the tone for your entire life.”
     “I am excited to be partnering with the University as our primary sponsor,” Bork said. “And I hope my efforts as an endurance bicyclist, former Falcon Baseball player and lifelong athlete inspire my teammates, fraternity brothers and fellow alumni to help meet our financial goals for renovating Steller Field with the ‘Knock It out of the Park” campaign.
