Public skate to benefit Dance Marathon

The BGSU Ice Arena will hold a special promotional public skating session from 8-10 p.m. on Feb. 25. Half of the proceeds from this public skate will be given to Dance Marathon, an organization dedicated to raising money and awareness for children in our area in need of medical attention.

Special discounted rates will be in effect for this event only. Admission is $2 and skate rental is $1.

Spirit of BG award goes to Carol Holland

From rescuing a woman with car problems to giving her personal time to decorating the Bowen-Thompson Student Union for special events, Carol Holland “has always shown the core values of BGSU on a daily basis,” her co-workers at the union say of her. They describe her as one of the nicest and most generous people they know.

Holland was presented the Classified Staff Spirit of BG award, along with a check for $75 and congratulations from her colleagues.
