BGSU 1910: First Year Seminar
Students in the class of 2018 began their career at BGSU with a new, unique immersive experience called the BGSU 1910: First Year Seminar. These classes allow new students to engage academically in a small class setting, helping them adapt to the academic expectations of college and learn how it’s different from high school.
Support allows for unique programming, extracurricular activities and course materials.
Common Reading Experience
A BGSU tradition since 2001, the Common Reading Experience begins with the annual selection of a book that all new first-year students are asked to read during the summer prior to beginning their academic careers at BGSU. Members of the campus community are invited to participate as well. Throughout the year, students discuss the common read in various courses and participate in events designed to complement the book. Traditionally, the author visits campus and interacts with students, faculty, staff and the local community. Classroom visits, panel discussions and a book signing provide opportunities for engagement.
Your support will fund activities, experiential learning opportunities and unique programming that will continue to grow this initiative and nurture the love of reading among students.
Chapman Learning Community
The Chapman Learning Community is a nationally recognized program that connects students and the community through real-world service projects. Open to all majors, the Chapman Learning Community is dedicated to service learning, community and civic engagement.
Your contribution enhances programming efforts by providing funds to offset events, conference travel, service-learning programs, civic-engagement opportunities and educational site visits within the community.
