The Excellence Fund for BGSU allows for the flexibility and agility needed to respond to emerging opportunities or challenges in funding student programming, scholarships, faculty support and innovative, outside-the-classroom experiences. Consider making your year-end gift to support the BGSU Excellence Fund and offer BGSU the chance to direct support to the students and programs in greatest need. |
On behalf of the students, faculty and staff, our very best to you this holiday season. You’ll find a special Falcon message in your inbox next month!
