BGSU earns Collegiate Purple Star designation
For the second time, Bowling Green State University has earned Collegiate Purple Star designation from the Ohio Department of Higher Education for its support of veteran and military-affiliated students.
BGSU was honored with renewed designation in part for the personalized assistance and resources it provides to veteran and military students, including through the Office of Nontraditional and Military Student Services and student-led organizations. Veteran and military student surveys were also considered for this year's designation, which was awarded by a committee appointed by ODHE Chancellor Mike Duffey.
In addition to statewide recognition, BGSU has also been consistently ranked by Military Times as the No. 1 university in the Midwest for veteran and military students for four consecutive years.
