THE NUMBERS ARE IN: BGSU EDUCATION GRADS AMONG TOP EARNERS
The College of Education and Human Development has a long-standing reputation of producing some of the nation's best teachers – and now a recent survey shows they are also among the best paid. In its 2015-16 Education Salary Report, PayScale, a compensation data firm based in Seattle, ranked BGSU seventh on its list of highest paid education majors, and first in the state of Ohio. On average, BGSU graduates earn an average of $32,000 starting out and climb to an average salary of $56,000 later in their careers.
Faculty in the School of Teaching and Learning hold students to exceptionally high standards and teach from the most innovative curriculum. In result, BGSU's undergraduate teacher candidates score higher than most undergraduates on all licensure program exams. In 2014, BGSU teacher candidates posted a 96 percent pass rate on the Teacher Licensure Exam.

ALUMNUS BRINGS CHINESE ART AND TECHNIQUE HOME TO BGSU
Internationally acclaimed artist Xinle Ma has curated an exhibition of established Chinese painters whose work weaves a graceful thread between modern Western and traditional Chinese influences. The exhibit, "Fluent Expression: Modern and Traditional Chinese Painting," will be on display from Sept. 4-30 in the Willard Wankelman Gallery in the Fine Arts Center.
The exhibition will feature about 40 paintings by three artists in addition to Ma, a 1995 graduate of BGSU's Master of Fine Arts program. They are Yu Zhixue, renowned in China for his snow scenes and landscapes; Ren Zhong, a successful mid-career artist, and Mou Cheng, one of the most revered artists in China, also known for his snow landscapes.
Ma and Mou will visit BGSU during the exhibition, and audiences will have the opportunity to take part in a weekend workshop on painting in the traditional Chinese style Sept. 19 and 20, and to meet the artists following a talk by Ma on Sept. 21.
