BGSU 2018 Year in Review

A message from the President

Dear Students, Faculty, Staff, Alumni and Friends,

As we close another memorable year, I’ve been reflecting on Bowling Green State University and all we have experienced in 2018. Our learning community welcomed new students, created new academic programs, broke ground on new facilities and developed new partnerships.    

For me, it is so much more. Not only have I had the honor of completing my first year as President, I am also proud of how we came together to focus on the future of BGSU.

As a public university, we must embrace our role to act in the public interest and create public good. Every day, we are preparing our students to live meaningful and productive lives, helping them create a life on their own terms. Our Year In Review shows just how we are achieving that mission.

From our new strategic plan, you’ll see that we are committed to:

• Redefining student success
• Connecting our research and creative activities for public good
• Empowering and supporting our people to achieve excellence
• Advancing our impact through engagement
• Aligning for excellence and value
• Telling our story

In 2018, we witnessed the impact our university had on Ohio, the nation and world. We are not stopping there; we have more of our story still to write.

View the moments that defined 2018 for Bowling Green State University – a public university for the public good. I am already looking forward to what we accomplish together next.

Regards,

Rodney Rogers Signature Transparent
Rodney K. Rogers Ph.D.
President
