Hello all, welcome to the new BGNAS site. You will notice that things are not completely running yet. I am meeting with Bridget on Wednesday and hope to have more for you by then.
The site looks too much like the BG Views template for one, but I am working on changing that.
BG News Alumni Society takes part in Communications Studies Week
From landing first internships to making a complete career change, BG News alumni shared their professional experiences with current journalism students during BGSU's Communication Studies Week April 15, 2005.
The newly formed BG News Alumni Society hosted a panel discussion titled "From Here to There: Career Paths for Journalism Students" on the final day of the week-long event sponsored by the School of Communication Studies, which includes the Journalism Department.
Nearly $14,000 has been raised to date in two fund-raising efforts benefiting The BG News. According to Michelle Banks, '92, BGNAS board member and BGSU's director of annual giving, $12,016 has been contributed to the Terry Goodman Memorial Journalism Scholarship fund and another $1,952 has been donated to the newly created BG News Fund.
These are the criteria for the Terry Goodman Memorial Journalism Scholarship. This scholarship is open to both incoming freshmen and enrolled students.

It wasn't that long ago, at least not in our minds anyway. Those days in college -- the friends, the experiences, the late nights in the newsroom, or later on winding down after deadline at some favorite gathering place.
A lot hasn't changed. The BG News and the BGSU journalism department are still partnering to develop some of the best professional journalists today, or graduates choosing to make their mark in another career, using those skills they first found or developed at BGSU and maybe the student newspaper.
Award-winning journalist and family man
Ask Craig Goodman about his brother Terry and he doesn't hesitate: "He was about love of family, love of the journalism profession, and trying to help out someone who needed it."
Those values are at the core of the Terry Goodman Memorial Journalism Scholarship, a program begun in 2004 to honor the 1978 Bowling Green State University journalism graduate who became an award-winning journalist in Northeast Ohio.
