University Advancement

The BGSU Alumni Board of Directors revisits its Strategic Plan regularly in order to enhance programs and services for its network of nearly 170,000 Falcon graduates. Our mission: "The BGSU Alumni Association exists to maintain its members’ connection to BGSU by providing valued-added programs and services with the goals of: supporting the personal and professional success of our alumni; and inspiring pride in, promoting involvement with, and providing support for the University and its mission.” 

The current Strategic Plan goals include promoting alumni engagement with BGSU, creating the financial means to support priorities, recognizing alumni achievements and engaging students so a lifelong relationship with BGSU is established. Of the many programs and events the Alumni Association sponsors, several that are a major focus at this time include:

• Career services for alumni
• Chapter development in key regional areas
• Volunteer recruitment
• Awards and volunteer recognition
• Homecoming and reunions
• Student scholarship and philanthropy
• Branding of the association/marketing its services
• Revenue generation
