Did you know that BGSU administrative staff members are represented by the Administrative Staff Council (ASC)?
Representatives who serve on ASC are elected to advocate for you, promote general welfare, provide professional development opportunities, maintain communication and review, initiate and make recommendations on institutional policies for administrative staff.
If you are an administrative staff member looking for a way to get involved as a leader, connect with colleagues in every division and advocate for positive initiatives that affect all administrative staff, we invite you to nominate yourself (or a colleague) to be an ASC Representative.
If you are elected to be an ASC representative, your commitment will include the following:
Serve a three-year term
Attend the ASC General Meeting hosted from 1:30-3 p.m. on the first Thursday of every month.
Vote on important policies and bylaws that affect BGSU administrative staff.
Serve on one standing committee and carry out the goals of the committee you are assigned. Committee work, on average, requires 1-3 hours of dedication every month.
Complete the ASC Nomination Form →
We hope to see your nomination soon, but if you have any questions before you decide, please don’t hesitate to reach out to asc@bgsu.edu.
Nominees will be placed on the election ballot on March 17.
_________________________
Not ready to commit to being a representative but want to get involved?
If you can only commit to serving for one year, email asc@bgsu.edu for information on serving as a volunteer on a standing committee and other opportunities.

[HOW TO CLAIM YOUR PRIZE]
The randomized drawing will occur by the third day of each month up until May 3. The Office of Residence Life will reach out to each winner through BGSU email and the phone number on file (make sure you have your voicemail box set up!). If a winner doesn't respond within 24 hours, their right to the prize will be forfeited, and a new winner will be selected.

When contacted, the Office of Residence Life will discuss with each winner how to select a room for themself and their chosen roommate.
_____________
[IMPORTANT DETAILS]
Students are not required to have their $200 initial housing payment made to be eligible to win. However, before any student can be assigned to a room, the initial housing payment must be paid.
The additional student who is pulled into the room by a winner must have their housing and meal plan agreement signed and paid their $200 initial payment at the time of the room selection. They must also be a new incoming student admitted at BGSU to qualify.
This prize does not offer any discount on the housing rate, and each student assigned to a room through this giveaway will be responsible for the full payment of the room in accordance with their student bill. Cancellations to the agreement by May 1, 2023, will receive a 100% refund and will not be billed. Cancelations after May 1, 2023, will be granted in accordance with the forfeiture schedule.
If the winner does not submit an eligible student to be their roommate by the Office of Residence Life deadline, the remaining space will be forfeited.
Once a student has won one of the 20 prizes, they will no longer be eligible to win the remaining prizes for this giveaway. Students who have agreed to be the roommate of one of the winners will also not be eligible.
The beds selected by the winner and their roommate must be assigned to the same building. Any student who is assigned to a room through this giveaway does not have the right to their room assignment. If one of the students decides to do a room change into a different room/building or cancels their contract, the vacant bed will open up to standard room selection, and a random roommate may be assigned.
Returning students who will be enrolled full-time at BGSU are not eligible to win.
The Office of Residence Life is not responsible for prize notifications being marked as spam, junk or otherwise hidden from the recipient.
