Centennial Celebration??

Post by **ZiggyZoomba** » Fri Jan 28, 2005 10:18 am

With the BGSU 100th birthday coming up in 5 years, I just wondered if anyone knew if there were any special events in the planning stages yet? I know it's still a ways off, but you can't start thinking about this kind of event too early. I hope they have some big-time events!

I think I saw something about some committe named BG@100 or something. Not sure if this is that group or what. Maybe transfer2 can help us out.

The is a sign outside an office on Wooster that says "BG@100". It is next to DQ, across from Dairy Mart. Don't know what they are doing though.

They're putting a statue of me in front of University Hall, but I don't think they captured my "essence", so I might ask them to try again.

The BG@100 office is, from what I understand, the transfer of the university mainframe. This includes bursar, financial aid, and many other offices. Now I may have been mistaken or heard wrong. transfer2BGSU would know more than I. I do know there is a fundraising program that is in the silent phase. It is called "Building Dreams, The Centenial Campaign for BGSU." I will try to get more information on both.

That was the one where they DID capture my "essence", though... or at least my good side.

(Good one, though!)

The rock by the seal? I always thought it looked more like a vag.....never mind.

BG@100 is for the switchover to the new PeopleSoft computer system we are moving to over the next few years.

Actually, I have absolutely no idea at all as to what plans are up for the Centennial Celebration.

So I defer to FalconFan1 (nothing like passing the buck).

It does from one side. Walk towards the Union more and look back at it, you'll see what I meant

Why that sculpture is right by the University Seal always perplexed me. Go figure.

funny story about the Univ. seal... during one of the preview day tours I gave, I was standing on the seal talking about all it's superstitions and what all, and after I told the one about kissing a chick while standing on the seal you get married or whatever, I asked for volunteers. Fortunately most of the group eventually got a chuckle out of it, though there were a couple slightly dropped jaws on parents in the group.

Metzger has a very interesting picture of himself standing next to the sculpture that I've always enjoyed
