Founders Day: our annual community celebration on campus

Founders Day at BGSU Firelands brings our community together to commemorate the action by BGSU’s Board of Trustees that authorized the campus’ development and founding.

The Founders Day Community Celebration pays tribute to the founding vision and community partnerships that brought BGSU Firelands to life. It is both a commemoration of our heritage and a renewal of our shared commitment to access, education and regional impact.

With that in mind, we celebrate annually to:

  • Celebrate Firelands’ legacy—honor the people, programs and partnerships that shape our campus
  • Showcase Firelands today—discover how Firelands continues to lead in access, innovation and impact
  • Strengthen community connections—reconnect with fellow Falcons and regional leaders
  • Inspire the future—be part of the next chapter in our story
