- BGSU graduate into a full-time, degree-required position and/or
- BGSU intern, co-op student, or other experiential learner
This qualifier serves as the base milestone for participation in the tiered recognition structure.
Engagement categories for recognition
Each category reflects a partnership progression from point of entry (1 point) to mid-level (2 points) to advanced engagement (3 points). As organizations deepen their involvement, earlier engagements are assumed to be included in the point total. Category totals are capped at 3 points unless otherwise noted.

Partnership tiers reflect depth of engagement rather than a set of guaranteed benefits. Recognition and engagement elements evolve as collaboration grows and are shaped by priorities, goals, and opportunities.
