“You can’t pay for what I’ve learned. It’s been the culmination of my entire college career.” Jerrod Witt, 2014 Hatchling “It’s really, a ‘win-win-win.’ The students win by receiving a unique educational experience. The University wins because they are developing the students and providing experiential learning. And, the local community wins because ultimately some of these businesses are going to start and thrive here.” Bob Venzel, Mentor
> Event Planning “I have been away from BGSU for more than 30 years. The Hatch has reconnected me to my Alma Mater.” Jack Horney, Mentor “Because of The Hatch, I decided to attend BGSU.” Kory Khatz, College of Business Student
