Bowling Green State University

Thank you to everyone who joined us at the 2026 Latino/a/x Issues Conference at BGSU this week! Featuring the eSTRELLA Latin American & Latino/a/x Studies Student Research Conference, the event brought together students, scholars and community members to showcase original research and creative work celebrating the diversity of Latino/a/x cultures and experiences.

Congratulations to all who gave a @TEDx Talk on campus today! The lineup brought together a mix from every corner of Bowling Green, including five faculty members, three staff members, several alumni and a strong contingent of students. Notably, more than one-third of the speakers were undergraduates, a reflection of the University's commitment to student experience and opportunities. "Speaking at TEDxBGSU affords students a masterclass in storytelling and communicating why their work has the potential to change the world and community around them." -Kendra Lutes, associate director of the C. Raymond Marvin Center for Student Leadership and Civic Engagement

#BGSU is once again being nationally recognized by the @allintovote Campus Democracy Challenge for its commitment to nonpartisan student voter engagement ahead of the 2026 midterms. The #BGSUVotes 2026 Action Plan was rated a “Highly Established Action Plan,” marking the third time Bowling Green has earned this distinction. BGSU is one of two Ohio public universities on the list.

The Bowling Green 2026 State of the Region will be centered on how education and industry come together to shape Ohio’s future workforce and enhance the student experience. This year’s theme highlights the growing importance of these partnerships in strengthening communities and careers and driving economic development. "We’re going to be talking about a lot of important things, the first of which is where the workforce is going...it's really going to give students the opportunity to think about what these partners are looking for when hiring for those great, high-paying jobs," said Nichole Fifer, Ph.D., director of the BGSU Center for Regional Development, who will deliver the economic address. bgsu.edu/news/2026/03/b…

Born just months apart two BGSU students, Quinn Emerson and Jack Blake – sons of @BGSUHKY legends and @BGSU_Athletics Hall of Famers Nelson Emerson '92 and Rob Blake '90 – grew up together dreaming of one day becoming Falcons like their dads. They lived and breathed hockey. They went to the same school. They carpooled to school and to the rink. They played mini sticks in each other’s houses. They watched together as the @LAKings, with whom both of their fathers became executives, won multiple @StanleyCup. This season as seniors, they wrote their own chapter at the Madhouse on Mercer. bgsu.edu/news/2026/02/f…

Oh, what a difference a decade makes! It’s been 10 years since our first ever annual day of giving, BGSU One Day, so we’re looking back at what the 2016-2017 academic year looked like on campus! You can support #BGSUOneDay by making an early gift today or give on March 25-26 at bgsu.edu/oneday 🔗🧡 Whether you give back to the part of campus that shaped you most or share the impact of BGSU with others, our community continues to show what makes Bowling Green State University stand out and be an experience that stays with you. WE ARE JUST ONE WEEK AWAY FROM BGSU ONE DAY!!

At BGSU’s Allen W. and Carol M. Schmidthorst College of Business, students solve real challenges for real companies, gaining hands-on experience that leads to internships and full-time roles at employers like Lowe's, Nestlé and Sherwin-Williams, often before graduation. Named a “Best Business School” by The Princeton Review for 15 consecutive years and accredited by Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, it’s clear... the difference is in the experience.
