BGSU Centennial Alumni Awards: 100 of the Most Prominent Alumni
Presenters
Lori Corvino, Assistant Director of Alumni and Development, Bowling Green State University
Susan Ballard, Assistant Director of Alumni and Development, Bowling Green State University
Description
In April 2010, BGSU recognized and honored 100 of our most prominent alumni in celebration of the University’s Centennial. With a goal of 450 event participants, we welcomed over 850 alumni, honorees, family, friends and community members that evening. The weekend of events was two years in the making. We faced many challenges along the way, beginning with the selection of 100 alumni out of an alumni base of 155,000 and culminating to a venue with a thought capacity of 500. The end result was amazing and made lasting impressions on many.
