[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.

Join the Center for Women and Gender Equity for a Research Seminar with Dr. Ellen Broido!
Tuesday, March 21
Noon-1 p.m.
Hayes Hall 203
Dr. Broido (she/her/hers) is professor of Higher Education and Student Affairs at Bowling Green State University. Her research addresses multiple diversity and social justice issues in the context of higher education. Dr. Broido will share the work of BGSU’s Allies team to develop an instrument to measure white faculty members’ transformative ally behaviors. Adapting Solórzano and Delgado Bernal’s (2001) typology of student resistance and Hardiman et al.’s (2007) model of multiple levels of oppression, Broido sought to measure behaviors associated with white faculty members’ transformative allyship for racially minoritized faculty peers and the extent to which white faculty members challenged institutional and individual racism in academia.
Broido will share the process of developing the scale and initial findings and discuss the equally important process of and challenges in assessing allyship from the perspective of those in minoritized groups.
This event will have a Zoom option for those who cannot attend in person. To RSVP, please contact cwge@bgsu.edu.

In celebration of Women's History Month, a new documentary titled "Trailblazing Women in Ohio Politics" will premier at BGSU!
March 21
7 p.m.
Bowen-Thompso Student Union Theater
The public is invited to watch the hour-long documentary, followed by a panel discussion moderated by Bowling Green State University political science professor Melissa K. Miller, an expert on American politics. The non-partisan documentary tells the story of both Democratic and Republican women who broke electoral barriers beginning in the 1960s. WBGU-PBS produced the documentary locally.
The goal of the documentary is to tell the stories of notable women in Ohio electoral politics. Each blazed a trail for women/women of color in elective office. This includes Jo Ann Davidson, the first woman speaker of the Ohio House; Helen Rankin, the first African American woman in the Ohio General Assembly; and Betty D. Montgomery, Ohio’s first woman attorney general, along with other distinguished politicians.
Initial funding for the project was provided by Dr. Maribeth S. and Martin E. Rahe. Additional financial support was provided by the Ohio History Fund, a grant program of the Ohio History Connection; Ohio Humanities, a state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities; the Office of the President of Bowling Green State University (BGSU); and BGSU’s Center for Undergraduate Research and Scholarship.
