BGSU is in a position it hasn’t been in for thirteen years, searching for a new University president. As the University edges closer to its 100th anniversary in 2010, In Focus is looking at the future, present and past of the highest position at the University. Homer Williams was the first to take the reigns of the BGSU presidency in 1912, spending 25 years at the post. Since then nine presidents and two interim presidents have served. Including three presidents who’ve served 13 years each- Sidney Ribeau, Paul Olscamp and Frank Prout. With University enrollment at its lowest count in the past several years causing budget cuts throughout the University, the next president has the very important job of getting BGSU’s numbers back up.
