Family Campaign

"As the chair of the BGSU Student Legacy Campaign, and as member of the Alumni Laureate Scholarship cohort, I have been able to see firsthand how giving can change lives. I have been inspired by the level of giving on this campus, and so have other students, some of whom have given up their ‘pizza money’ to make real change in the lives of everyone connected to BGSU."

Bowling Green State University is known for its commitment to helping students succeed both within and beyond the classroom. Our enduring emphasis on providing students with a transformational education shapes the lives of students and ensures the continued vitality of the University. As today’s students face an increasingly complex and competitive world, it is imperative BGSU continues to provide diverse activities, innovative academic programs, and a dynamic mix of learning opportunities to position our students as tomorrow’s leaders. With your help, Bowling Green can continue to provide our students with positive learning experiences both in and out of the classroom.

The BGSU Family Campaign, a University-wide effort to support institutional initiatives, provides resources to engage, challenge and prepare students for a meaningful future. Now in its second decade, the Family Campaign has raised nearly $10.1 million to benefit students, programs and initiatives. The campaign spans our fiscal year and includes any gifts made from July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2013.
