"Coming back and interning at my Alma Mater was something I was looking forward to, and actually having the opportunity to work with the Department of Recreation and Wellness allowed me to challenge myself to live better physically, mentally, and professionally. Recreation and Wellness gave me the tools that I needed to improve myself as a person first and a professional second, and because of that I am forever grateful!"                                            -- Bernard Little ~ Fall 2008

"BGSU has taught me how to grow as a leader; I lead a staff of 30 student  employees and learned every aspect of being a manager. My experience at Bowling Green State University has been the opportunity of a lifetime, and I would recommend to any student interested in a career in campus recreation to join the BGSU Recreation and Wellness team."                                                                       -- Matthew Alan Lacy ~ Summer 2008
