BGSU 2017 Year in Review

A message from the President Emeritus

Members of the Falcon Family,

Happy New Year! As we closed another memorable year, BGSU continued its commitment to excellence, and we are so proud of our accomplishments.  

In 2017, BGSU students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends changed lives for the world. We witnessed the impact of a BGSU education, dozens of wins for our athletic teams, students engaging in community service and leadership development, and outstanding examples of how our alumni and friends made a difference.

This great University is strategically positioned to meet the challenges and thrive for years to come. We invest in state-of-the-art facilities, recruit world-class faculty and improve the BG experience for all students. From recruitment to graduation, the world needs Falcons. As we welcome new leadership with our President, Interim Dr. Rodney Rogers, BGSU will continue to build upon its progress and find success.

View the moments that defined 2017 for this special University. Thank you for all that you do for BGSU! I am looking forward to what we will accomplish in 2018.

Regards,

Mary Ellen Mazey signature
