A weekly publication for the BGSU community

Fall Transition Team points way to success Brittney Pecoraro (right), a freshman from Chardon, was one of more than 500 students who appreciated the directions and information offered last week by Bonita Bembry (left), director of College Access Programs, and other members of a mobile team of helpful BGSU staff. Using golf carts and two-way radios, the team cruised the high-traffic areas of campus to answer questions on the first two days of classes. While primarily first-year students took advantage of the service, some returning students and several new instructors also found it helpful. The effort was part of the Fall Transition Program to assist students in having a smooth start to the academic year. The program team continues to coordinate a ready-response team, which can be reached through the Office of Student Academic Achievement, 419-372-0495, through Sept. 10 to assist students with complex academic, financial or personal problems.
