In a year of important dates—BGSU’s centennial, the 40th anniversary of Earth Day—the University is also celebrating another milestone: It has saved more than $1 million over the past 15 years of its recycling program.

The savings are the sum of “cost avoidance,” or the money not spent on dumping material into the landfill, and the money earned by selling recycled commodities. “Over 15 years, we’ve earned more than $532,000,” said Duane Hamilton, director of campus services in facilities services. “I just want to say a huge ‘thank you’ to those who recycle. Every time you do, you are actually helping the University.”

Ned E. Baker, a 1950 BGSU graduate, nationally recognized health expert and Bowling Green resident, was among 30 University faculty, administrators and students inducted into BGSU’s Circle of Omicron Delta Kappa April 16.

Also inducted were Dr. Robert McKay, the Ryan Professor of biological sciences; Dolores Black, an associate professor emeritus in the School of Human Movement, Sport and Leisure Studies; Catherine Cardwell, interim vice provost for academic programs; Kimberly McBroom, chief communications officer, and Dr. Mary Ann Begley, interim associate dean of students.

Students in the College of Business continue to excel both nationally and internationally.

“Spoon River Anthology,” one of America’s most beloved literary works, will come to life on the BGSU Firelands stage this week. 

Afghanistan expert and BGSU alumnus Thomas Gouttierre will speak on "The Role of Pakistan in the War on Afghanistan" at 7 p.m. Thursday (April 22) in 114 Business Administration Building.
