Meet BGSU student Kien Quoc Ngo, who went from Bowling Green to Silicon Valley before graduating. In his four years at Bowling Green, Vietnam native Kien Quoc Ngo competed in 13 hackathons, received 13 job offers, participated in the University's entrepreneurship competition called "The Hatch" and landed a summer venture capital fellowship program with Jackson Square Ventures in San Francisco. He chose BGSU because he wanted the environment and support to find himself as a person, but the flexibility to blaze his own path as a computer science student. Read his story:

As a former athlete and current high school softball coach, Madison Louth knows firsthand the unique challenges of the student-athlete lifestyle. As a business administration major with specializations in accounting, business analytics and finance, she realized that, like many people, athletes don’t always fully understand finances, despite the uptick in name, image and likeness (NIL) endorsements. She launched Maddie’s Money Lab, a financial literacy program for student-athletes. Read more about Madison's business she started with the Hatch, a unique program at Bowling Green that supports students' entrepreneurial ventures:

As many universities are experiencing declining enrollment, Bowling Green is experiencing the opposite, and its approach is drawing national attention. With four consecutive years of enrollment growth, BGSU was featured on @Bloomberg's “Wall Street Week,” with anchor @DavidWestin saying, “Bowling Green State [University] is one of the universities that is finding creative solutions to counteract the pain from the demographic decline.” In the episode, @Pres_Rogers talks about how Bowling Green began planning years ago to adapt to the changing landscape of higher education, including a focus on differentiating the University through in-demand programs and a distinctive student experience. As part of this strategic plan, Bowling Green has invested in programs aligned with workforce needs, particularly in STEM and healthcare fields, which continues to draw students to enroll at BGSU.
