Spirit of BG Award

Norma Lybarger, Bowen Thompson Student Union
October 2009 Spirit of BG Award Winner

Congratulations to Norma Lybarger!

Below are a few comments from the nomination:

"Norma began the “Cookies for Birthdays” program….volunteering her own time, funds and energy…for the students.   This program has been an incredible morale booster for our staff.  Norma goes above and beyond by making the students feel at home, while away from home."  In addition, “Norma displays cooperation through her willingness to work wherever she is needed when we are short staffed.  ….she takes pride in a job well done by positively encouraging other associates to strive for greatness."

From all classified employees at BGSU, we'd like to thank Norma for having the true spirit of BG!
