the most of new possibilities. Here’s a look at some recent news.

Construction begins on new Sebo Athletic Center
A new campus facility for Falcon athletics is on the way. Bob and Karen Sebo of Salem, Ohio, for whom the structure is named,
contributed $3.5 million toward a goal of $7 million being raised to support a three-story structure will become the new “front
door” of Doyt Perry Stadium. With approximately 42,500 square feet, the center will provide modern sports medicine-rehabilitation
and strength-training facilities; offices for the football coaches; teaching space and team meeting rooms.
Contributions are counted as part of Building Dreams: The Centennial Campaign for Bowling Green State University. The focus
of the $120 million fund-raising campaign, which continues through December 2008, is to increase scholarships, enhance faculty
and leadership positions, strengthen programs, build for tomorrow and sustain the University. More than $100 million already
has been committed to the campaign.
$1.5 million gift supports new arts center
Perrysburg residents Frederic D. and Mary T. Wolfe and the Wolfe Family Charitable Foundation have announced a $1.5 million
gift to support what will be known as the Wolfe Center for the Arts. Preliminary plans for the building include three performance
spaces: a proscenium theater that will provide space for large-scale productions of musical theater, opera, and classical
drama; a flexible theater for the presentation of more diverse artistic styles, including theater for young audiences and
productions of new plays, and a black box theater to provide space for experimental productions, integrating the spoken word
and body movement with digital and sound technology.
U.S.News & World Report highly ranks BGSU programs
Bowling Green State University's Learning Communities have once again received national attention. The 2007 edition of U.S.News & World Report's “America's Best Colleges” cites BGSU in “Programs to Look For.” This is the fourth straight year BGSU has appeared on the
list of campuses nationwide with outstanding learning communities. Only 24 institutions nationally were recognized for their
learning communities
The others include Indiana University, Iowa State, Miami University, the University of Maryland-College Park and Yale. In
BGSU's small-group residential learning communities, students with similar interests and goals live and study together. They
work closely with outstanding faculty who teach and have offices in the residence halls where the academically based programs
are housed. The University also offers themed learning communities. This is the fifth year U.S.News & World Report's college rankings issue has featured listings of outstanding academic programs that are thought to lead to student success.
