On this Labor Day, we reflect with gratitude on what makes the Bowling Green experience so special, evident these last few weeks on our campuses: An incredible marching band and spirit programs. Athletic teams that never quit. Students showing up, in force, for each other and for Bowling Green. Connecting with one another, learning from one another and building community with one another. And having a little fun along the way! When students choose Bowling Green State University, they get one of the best educational experiences in the nation. That means in the classroom, of course, but also the community we build together. We might not have the biggest endowment and we’re not the oldest university. What we are is a hard-working university that has long punched above its weight, setting the standard for what a 21st century public university should be. Our students are absolutely prepared for a great career and great life. To the faculty and staff who create this learning community: thank you. You’ve made Bowling Green a place that proves what higher education can be. To our students, your commitment to Bowling Green and to each other is what makes us who we are. We are so proud.
