Biographical / Historical
The Bowling Green State University Retirees Association (BGSURA) was organized in June 1995. The purpose of the group was varied, as they sought to deepen the friendships and associations of former faculty and staff through recreational and community activities, continue and foster a close liaison with Bowling Green State University for the general welfare and mutual benefits of each other, safeguard their members pension plans and convey care for each other. Membership was opened to all full-time and part-time faculty and staff who have worked at the University for at least five years. The society is also a member of the Ohio Council of Higher Education Retirees. The group continues to be an active member of the Bowling Green State University community. More information about the organization is available at the BGSURA website.
