A weekly publication for the BGSU community

At his opening day address, President Ribeau celebrates BGSU's citation in the 2006 U.S. News & World Report's “America's Best Colleges” for its learning communities and first-year programs.

Scholarship and service that demonstrate community engagement will help create “a new front door for the University,” President Sidney Ribeau told his opening-day audience Aug. 19 in the Lenhart Grand Ballroom.

The new look will showcase “not only what we do, but how it makes a difference for society,” the president said. Engaged service and research, along with teaching and learning, are all “part of a composite that says we are a valuable resource.”

And that’s an important statement at a time of change for higher education in Ohio, Ribeau added, predicting that it will be funded differently by the state 10 years from now.
