About Us

Alumni and Friends:

The Division of University Advancement welcomes you. Our goal is to provide you with information on alumni programming and on making a gift to Bowling Green State University.

Alumni Affairs teams with the Development Office and the Foundation to focus on programs to keep you connected to your alma mater so that you may continue to experience the great opportunities that BGSU has to offer. Alumni participation strengthens the BGSU community and contributes to the broader goals of the University.

Whether you live in northwest Ohio and visit campus regularly or you live far beyond the region, the diverse alumni programs will provide a connection for you. Look for BGSU on Facebook and LinkedIn!

Providing opportunities for you to support BGSU is an important part of our mission. Your continued commitment to BGSU allows the University to provide outstanding educational opportunities to students and to prepare them for the future. Gifts to the Excellence Fund for BGSU provide the flexibility to help the University in the areas where the need is the greatest. Or, you may decide to allocate your gift to a particular area. The choice is yours!

I look forward to meeting you at a future event. If I can be of any service to you, please feel free to contact the Office of Alumni and Development.

With Falcon Pride,

Tim Koder
Interim vice president of University Advancement;
interim president and CEO, BGSU Foundation, Inc.
