University launches new app | BGSU named best in Ohio for vets

APP-SOLUTELY BGSU!
BGSU LAUNCHES NEW APP

More than ever, the entire University campus is at your fingertips, thanks to the new BGSU App.

And because it’s user friendly, there’s “app-solutely” no excuse to ever be late for class again — the app is able to track campus shuttles on their routes in real time.

Available for free at the App Store and Google Play, the app provides a host of benefits for students, faculty and staff, allowing them to stay connected to campus in a variety of ways.

On the academic side, users can connect to Canvas through the app, so they will have everything they need on a smartphone or tablet.

MILITARY TIMES NAMES BGSU TOPS IN OHIO FOR VETS

Bowling Green State University has been named the top “Best for Vets 2017” university in Ohio by the Military Times.

Military Times ranked BGSU 46th out of 130 four-year institutions in the nation, besting all other Ohio schools and remaining one of the top academic choices in the country for veterans and active-duty military personnel.

“We are extremely proud to be considered among the best universities in the nation in making sure that student veterans have the necessary tools to succeed in academic life,” BGSU President Mary Ellen Mazey said. “These rankings recognize Bowling Green State University’s dedication to helping current and former U.S. military personnel inside and outside of the classroom.”

To be considered for “Best for Vets,” colleges had to fill out a survey of about 150 questions. Military Times evaluated schools’ responses plus other data collected by three federal agencies. Most colleges that filled out the survey didn't make the 130-school cut, the publication said.

IN BRIEF

The Blue Onion Bus will be on campus Nov. 11, featuring a pop-up exhibition of art by BGSU students. Artist Autumn Brown, creator of the mobile art gallery, will also give a talk about her experience bringing art to the public in nontraditional ways.

The semester’s final session of “Learning to Lead,” a free professional development series, on “Developing Resilience and Managing Change,” will be held Nov. 16 in 315 Bowen-Thompson Student Union.

Students, faculty, staff and community members who have received tickets from the University’s Parking Services are invited to trade in toys for their tickets this holiday season.
