BGSU hands off Wood County Corps to United Way, remains partner
A group of dedicated young people was sworn in Sept. 12 as members of the Wood County Corps, pledging to “get things done”
in the community.
The swearing-in was part of a larger event in the life of the corps, which is being transitioned from BGSU’s oversight to
the United Way of Greater Toledo. On hand were BGSU President Sidney Ribeau; Bill Kitson, president and CEO of the United
Way; Dr. Jane Rosser, founding program director of the Wood County Corps, and Program Manager Ed Newman, along with other
campus supporters, community partners and families of the inductees.
Rosser said the transition marks a new phase “in an ongoing partnership to build student engagement in the county and to extend
our collaboration.” BGSU remains a partner in the corps and Rosser is still a consultant. Four BGSU student members of the
Wood County Corps comprise the new BGSU Service Corps, and will work on a number of projects strengthening service-learning
and engagement with the community.
