Open to students, faculty, staff and community members.

Join the BGSU Center for Archival Collections (CAC) and ServeOhio, Ohio's commission on service and volunteerism, for a hands-on community service event that focuses on preserving and expanding access to women’s history.

Volunteers will help transcribe handwritten cursive historical documents from the CAC, including materials related to women’s lives, work and community involvement. These transcriptions make archival collections more accessible for all types of research.

No prior experience with archives or transcription is required.

What You’ll Do

Participants will read handwritten cursive documents and use provided laptops to create typed transcripts. Volunteers may stay for as long or as little time as they are able and work at their own pace. Training and guidance will be provided throughout the day.

Why It Matters

Many historical documents exist only in handwritten form, which limits their discoverability and use online. Many researchers find cursive to be challenging to read. By creating transcripts, volunteers help turn these materials into searchable digital resources that support accessibility, public history and community research.

Light snacks and beverages will be available.

Advance registration is encouraged but not required. Drop-ins are welcome!

For questions about registration or the event, email Jennifer Long Morehart or call 419-372-9614.

Join us in honoring Women's History Month, celebrating the history, achievements, and contributions of women across cultures and communities.

The Silkroad Ensemble’s latest flagship program with Artistic Director Rhiannon Giddens is Sanctuary: The Power of Resonance and Ritual. In this new program, Giddens, Silkroad artists, and special guests explore how music can help us better understand our world, find comfort, process loss and a changing environment, and rebuild community based on our own humanity. Throughout history, humans have turned to music for solace and soothing in times of conflict or stress. In particular, the idea of “trance”—leading to a profound peace that is hard to find in modern society—is closely tied to the communal making of music in many different cultures. This shared musical experience helps us uplift one another and find joy and hope through stronger relationships.

Stargazes take place on the roof of the Physical Sciences Laboratory Building. The roof can be accessed by taking the elevator to the roof (press the “R” button in the elevator). Signs in the hallway will help direct you to the elevator. Do not use the stairs to go to the roof. The “R” button on the elevator will be unlocked at the start time of the stargazing session. If you arrive before it is unlocked, please wait on the first floor for the session to begin. It is recommended that you dress warmly. The roof is usually colder and windier than the ground.

While on the roof for a stargaze, please refrain from talking on your cell phone so that you do not interrupt others or stop them from hearing what is being discussed. The use of phones for flash free pictures or astronomy apps is allowed. Please do not use the light on your phone, since dark adaptation is important for viewing the nighttime sky.

Astronomical objects can only be seen when the sky is totally or mostly clear, therefore stargazes cannot be held unless the weather is clear. If it is snowing, raining, foggy, cloudy, or even partly cloudy, there will be no stargaze session that night. If you aren’t sure if the conditions will permit a stargaze session, you can call (419) 372-8831 for a recorded message telling whether the sessions will be held or canceled that night. The message is set one hour before the scheduled start of the session. If you call earlier than one hour before the start time, you may receive an incorrect message.

When you arrive at the roof and exit the elevator, you will be greeted by one of the stargaze personnel and directed to the various stations you can visit. If you are attending the stargaze for a general visit (rather than as part of an astronomy course), please let the greeter know.

In addition to the listed stargazing sessions, weather permitting, there may also be an opportunity for stargazing following evening Planetarium shows.

Wild Northwest Ohio brings together three artists whose work explores the ecosystems, wildlife and changing landscapes of Northwest Ohio. Through photography, mixed-media painting and printmaking, the exhibition highlights the beauty and fragility of the region’s natural world while asking viewers to consider their role in environmental stewardship.

This exhibition is ideal for those interested in environmental art, conservation, climate awareness, native species and regional artists.

Featured Artists

Lee Fearnside, photographer
Fearnside documents Northwest Ohio’s wildlife areas and landscapes shaped by human activity. Her photography examines how development, agriculture and everyday choices affect fragile ecosystems.

Barbara WF Miner, mixed-media painter
Drawing from daily walks in local fields and forests, Miner creates layered works built through stencil, pattern and color. Her paintings evoke complex biomes and explore the deep interconnection between humans and the environments they inhabit.

Kathy McGhee, printmaker
McGhee approaches nature through close observation. Using animals, landscapes and symbolic objects, her prints prompt reflection on how we perceive and internalize the natural world.

Why Attend

Experience three distinct approaches to environmental art

Learn more about Northwest Ohio’s native species and ecosystems

Reflect on sustainability, conservation and regional identity

Together, these artists invite visitors to look closely at the landscapes around them and imagine how care, awareness and stewardship can shape the future of Northwest Ohio.

Stargazes take place on the roof of the Physical Sciences Laboratory Building. The roof can be accessed by taking the elevator to the roof (press the “R” button in the elevator). Signs in the hallway will help direct you to the elevator. Do not use the stairs to go to the roof. The “R” button on the elevator will be unlocked at the start time of the stargazing session. If you arrive before it is unlocked, please wait on the first floor for the session to begin. It is recommended that you dress warmly. The roof is usually colder and windier than the ground.

While on the roof for a stargaze, please refrain from talking on your cell phone so that you do not interrupt others or stop them from hearing what is being discussed. The use of phones for flash free pictures or astronomy apps is allowed. Please do not use the light on your phone, since dark adaptation is important for viewing the nighttime sky.

Astronomical objects can only be seen when the sky is totally or mostly clear, therefore stargazes cannot be held unless the weather is clear. If it is snowing, raining, foggy, cloudy, or even partly cloudy, there will be no stargaze session that night. If you aren’t sure if the conditions will permit a stargaze session, you can call (419) 372-8831 for a recorded message telling whether the sessions will be held or canceled that night. The message is set one hour before the scheduled start of the session. If you call earlier than one hour before the start time, you may receive an incorrect message.

When you arrive at the roof and exit the elevator, you will be greeted by one of the stargaze personnel and directed to the various stations you can visit. If you are attending the stargaze for a general visit (rather than as part of an astronomy course), please let the greeter know.

In addition to the listed stargazing sessions, weather permitting, there may also be an opportunity for stargazing following evening Planetarium shows.

Stargazes take place on the roof of the Physical Sciences Laboratory Building. The roof can be accessed by taking the elevator to the roof (press the “R” button in the elevator). Signs in the hallway will help direct you to the elevator. Do not use the stairs to go to the roof. The “R” button on the elevator will be unlocked at the start time of the stargazing session. If you arrive before it is unlocked, please wait on the first floor for the session to begin. It is recommended that you dress warmly. The roof is usually colder and windier than the ground.

While on the roof for a stargaze, please refrain from talking on your cell phone so that you do not interrupt others or stop them from hearing what is being discussed. The use of phones for flash free pictures or astronomy apps is allowed. Please do not use the light on your phone, since dark adaptation is important for viewing the nighttime sky.

Astronomical objects can only be seen when the sky is totally or mostly clear, therefore stargazes cannot be held unless the weather is clear. If it is snowing, raining, foggy, cloudy, or even partly cloudy, there will be no stargaze session that night. If you aren’t sure if the conditions will permit a stargaze session, you can call (419) 372-8831 for a recorded message telling whether the sessions will be held or canceled that night. The message is set one hour before the scheduled start of the session. If you call earlier than one hour before the start time, you may receive an incorrect message.

When you arrive at the roof and exit the elevator, you will be greeted by one of the stargaze personnel and directed to the various stations you can visit. If you are attending the stargaze for a general visit (rather than as part of an astronomy course), please let the greeter know.

In addition to the listed stargazing sessions, weather permitting, there may also be an opportunity for stargazing following evening Planetarium shows.

Stargazes take place on the roof of the Physical Sciences Laboratory Building. The roof can be accessed by taking the elevator to the roof (press the “R” button in the elevator). Signs in the hallway will help direct you to the elevator. Do not use the stairs to go to the roof. The “R” button on the elevator will be unlocked at the start time of the stargazing session. If you arrive before it is unlocked, please wait on the first floor for the session to begin. It is recommended that you dress warmly. The roof is usually colder and windier than the ground.

While on the roof for a stargaze, please refrain from talking on your cell phone so that you do not interrupt others or stop them from hearing what is being discussed. The use of phones for flash free pictures or astronomy apps is allowed. Please do not use the light on your phone, since dark adaptation is important for viewing the nighttime sky.

Astronomical objects can only be seen when the sky is totally or mostly clear, therefore stargazes cannot be held unless the weather is clear. If it is snowing, raining, foggy, cloudy, or even partly cloudy, there will be no stargaze session that night. If you aren’t sure if the conditions will permit a stargaze session, you can call (419) 372-8831 for a recorded message telling whether the sessions will be held or canceled that night. The message is set one hour before the scheduled start of the session. If you call earlier than one hour before the start time, you may receive an incorrect message.

When you arrive at the roof and exit the elevator, you will be greeted by one of the stargaze personnel and directed to the various stations you can visit. If you are attending the stargaze for a general visit (rather than as part of an astronomy course), please let the greeter know.

In addition to the listed stargazing sessions, weather permitting, there may also be an opportunity for stargazing following evening Planetarium shows.

The march requires participants to complete a 30-kilometer / 18.64-mile course while carrying a rucksack with a dry weight of at least 11 kilograms / 24.25 pounds within a prescribed time according to gender and age. While the modern event no longer requires participants to carry a rifle as part of the weight requirement, organizers may opt to factor weapon weight into their calculations and subtract it from the rucksack
weight. Rucksack weight should be verified before the start of the event and after crossing the finish line.

This is BGSU's 3rd year of hosting the Norwegian Foot March! This event is open to all individuals.

Jessie Vander Heide received her Ph.D. in history from Lehigh University and specializes in the histories of gender and sexuality in nineteenth-century America. She is currently working on her first book project, Schooling Intimacy: Love, Romance, and Sexuality at Nineteenth-Century Female Academies. The project examines the romantic and sexual relationships of early United States female academy students, as well as the prolific discourse surrounding girls’ and women’s same-sex intimacy. Exploring both the queer relationships that female academy students cultivated, as well as the instructions, warnings, and fears that many adults expressed in relation to students’ newfound same-sex attachments, the project works to uncover queer archives and to unpack how young women experienced queer intimacy in the early United States.

Vander Heide’s research has been generously supported by the American Antiquarian Society, the Lawrence Henry Gipson Institute for Eighteenth Century Studies, the Library Company of Philadelphia, the Massachusetts Historical Society, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. Her work has recently appeared in the Journal of the History of Sexuality.

This lecture is co-sponsored by the BGSU School of Inclusive Teacher Education.

While on the roof for a stargaze, please refrain from talking on your cell phone so that you do not interrupt others or stop them from hearing what is being discussed. The use of phones for flash free pictures or astronomy apps is allowed. Please do not use the light on your phone, since dark adaptation is important for viewing the nighttime sky.

Astronomical objects can only be seen when the sky is totally or mostly clear, therefore stargazes cannot be held unless the weather is clear. If it is snowing, raining, foggy, cloudy, or even partly cloudy, there will be no stargaze session that night. If you aren’t sure if the conditions will permit a stargaze session, you can call (419) 372-8831 for a recorded message telling whether the sessions will be held or canceled that night. The message is set one hour before the scheduled start of the session. If you call earlier than one hour before the start time, you may receive an incorrect message.

When you arrive at the roof and exit the elevator, you will be greeted by one of the stargaze personnel and directed to the various stations you can visit. If you are attending the stargaze for a general visit (rather than as part of an astronomy course), please let the greeter know.

In addition to the listed stargazing sessions, weather permitting, there may also be an opportunity for stargazing following evening Planetarium shows.

Stargazes take place on the roof of the Physical Sciences Laboratory Building. The roof can be accessed by taking the elevator to the roof (press the “R” button in the elevator). Signs in the hallway will help direct you to the elevator. Do not use the stairs to go to the roof. The “R” button on the elevator will be unlocked at the start time of the stargazing session. If you arrive before it is unlocked, please wait on the first floor for the session to begin. It is recommended that you dress warmly. The roof is usually colder and windier than the ground.

While on the roof for a stargaze, please refrain from talking on your cell phone so that you do not interrupt others or stop them from hearing what is being discussed. The use of phones for flash free pictures or astronomy apps is allowed. Please do not use the light on your phone, since dark adaptation is important for viewing the nighttime sky.

Astronomical objects can only be seen when the sky is totally or mostly clear, therefore stargazes cannot be held unless the weather is clear. If it is snowing, raining, foggy, cloudy, or even partly cloudy, there will be no stargaze session that night. If you aren’t sure if the conditions will permit a stargaze session, you can call (419) 372-8831 for a recorded message telling whether the sessions will be held or canceled that night. The message is set one hour before the scheduled start of the session. If you call earlier than one hour before the start time, you may receive an incorrect message.

When you arrive at the roof and exit the elevator, you will be greeted by one of the stargaze personnel and directed to the various stations you can visit. If you are attending the stargaze for a general visit (rather than as part of an astronomy course), please let the greeter know.

In addition to the listed stargazing sessions, weather permitting, there may also be an opportunity for stargazing following evening Planetarium shows.

Wild Northwest Ohio brings together three artists whose work explores the ecosystems, wildlife and changing landscapes of Northwest Ohio. Through photography, mixed-media painting and printmaking, the exhibition highlights the beauty and fragility of the region’s natural world while asking viewers to consider their role in environmental stewardship.

This exhibition is ideal for those interested in environmental art, conservation, climate awareness, native species and regional artists.

Featured Artists

Fearnside documents Northwest Ohio’s wildlife areas and landscapes shaped by human activity. Her photography examines how development, agriculture and everyday choices affect fragile ecosystems.

Barbara WF Miner, mixed-media painter
Drawing from daily walks in local fields and forests, Miner creates layered works built through stencil, pattern and color. Her paintings evoke complex biomes and explore the deep interconnection between humans and the environments they inhabit.

Kathy McGhee, printmaker
McGhee approaches nature through close observation. Using animals, landscapes and symbolic objects, her prints prompt reflection on how we perceive and internalize the natural world.

Why Attend

Stargazes take place on the roof of the Physical Sciences Laboratory Building. The roof can be accessed by taking the elevator to the roof (press the “R” button in the elevator). Signs in the hallway will help direct you to the elevator. Do not use the stairs to go to the roof. The “R” button on the elevator will be unlocked at the start time of the stargazing session. If you arrive before it is unlocked, please wait on the first floor for the session to begin. It is recommended that you dress warmly. The roof is usually colder and windier than the ground.

While on the roof for a stargaze, please refrain from talking on your cell phone so that you do not interrupt others or stop them from hearing what is being discussed. The use of phones for flash free pictures or astronomy apps is allowed. Please do not use the light on your phone, since dark adaptation is important for viewing the nighttime sky.

Astronomical objects can only be seen when the sky is totally or mostly clear, therefore stargazes cannot be held unless the weather is clear. If it is snowing, raining, foggy, cloudy, or even partly cloudy, there will be no stargaze session that night. If you aren’t sure if the conditions will permit a stargaze session, you can call (419) 372-8831 for a recorded message telling whether the sessions will be held or canceled that night. The message is set one hour before the scheduled start of the session. If you call earlier than one hour before the start time, you may receive an incorrect message.

When you arrive at the roof and exit the elevator, you will be greeted by one of the stargaze personnel and directed to the various stations you can visit. If you are attending the stargaze for a general visit (rather than as part of an astronomy course), please let the greeter know.

In addition to the listed stargazing sessions, weather permitting, there may also be an opportunity for stargazing following evening Planetarium shows.

Join the Office of the Dean of Students on Wednesday, April 1st, from 2:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. near the Union Oval (outside Bowen-Thompson Student Union) to install the 2026 SAAM Teal Yarn Storm!

What is a yarn storm? Yarn storming is a type of graffiti or street art that employs colorful displays of knitted or crocheted yarn or fiber rather than paint or chalk. It is frequently used as a form of political resistance. Yarn storming has become synonymous with the current feminist movement, in part due to the reclamation of the traditionally feminine arts of knitting and/or crocheting to participate in the traditionally masculine graffiti scene.
