So many things are simpler in the age of the Internet, and connecting with other Falcons is no exception. The BGSU alumni page on Facebook is a great way to reconnect with old friends or get the latest campus news, photos and video; for career resources, visit us on LinkedIn to network with professional alumni, search job postings and more. First things first: check out bgsualumni.com/network to learn more about these Web sites and get started. While anyone can view the BGSU pages of these Web sites, accounts on Facebook or LinkedIn are free, easy to use and also required to take advantage of the full networking opportunities the sites have to offer.

With more than 157,000 alumni around the world–including 2,000 on Facebook and 3,000 on LinkedIn–you’ve already got a huge network of fellow Falcons to tap into, no matter where life takes you.

Hundreds of Falcon alumni are also taking advantage of the Alumni Association credit card, offered by Bank of America, which contributes 1.5 percent of every purchase toward BGSU alumni programs.
