Help recruit students to BGSU One of BGSU’s most valuable resources is its network of nearly 170,000 living alumni. More colleges and programs than ever are competing for a limited number of college-age applicants, and this challenging environment isn’t likely to ease in the near future. That’s why you are so important: first-hand experience of BGSU’s history, traditions and spirit gives Falcon graduates a unique voice in speaking to young people about the value of a BGSU diploma.
