This past summer, Bowling Green State University (BGSU) selected 24-year Air Force veteran and chief financial officer for the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), Casey Wyman, to serve as the university’s CFO.

Wyman, who had also served as CFO for the United States Air Force Academy, replaced Sheideen Stoll as BGSU’s CFO, who is retiring in 2026.

He said in an email statement that the university’s goals and community attracted him to take the position at BGSU.

“BGSU’s focus on student success and community really resonated with me. I was drawn to the university’s strong sense of purpose and the opportunity to contribute to its next phase of growth and innovation. Bowling Green also aligned with my family’s needs, as Anna [Wyman’s wife] and I, along with my three kiddos, were looking for a stronger connection to the local community,” Wyman’s statement said.

He said moving from UNLV to BGSU was easy for him and his family, and the support from the university and community had helped with that process.

“The transition was smooth thanks to the incredible support from leadership, community and my future team. While moving across the country always brings change, the BGSU community made us feel welcome from the very beginning,” Wyman said in his statement.

In his role as CFO, Wyman said he is in charge of supervising all things related to finances at the university.

“I oversee the university’s financial strategy and operations, everything from budgeting and accounting to long-term planning and investments,” Wyman said in the statement. “My goal is to ensure BGSU’s resources are used efficiently and strategically to support our students, faculty and mission. Balancing various types of risk can be a challenging part of the job, but enabling the vision of the president to become reality is very rewarding.”

Wyman credited his time in the Air Force with shaping the person he is today and has helped him get where he is in his professional career.

“The Air Force instilled in me the importance of teamwork and caring for people, values that I carry into my role every day,” Wyman said in his statement. “A mentor of mine told me never to underestimate the importance of being ‘kind.’ I believe that kindness goes a long way, especially when you are the CFO and working to ensure resources are aligned strategically. Which means you can’t always say yes, but treating people with kindness allows for a greater understanding of their passion and request.”
