Ryan Gift Benefits Professorship and Entrepreneurship
Two areas of the University have received a significant boost through the generosity of loyal alumni. Patrick L. and Debra (Scheetz) Ryan visited campus Jan. 15 to present $500,000 to Bowling Green. Half of the gift will double the Patrick L. and Debra Ryan Endowed Professorship in Biology, which they established in 2001. The other half will help develop the entrepreneurship program in the College of Business Administration. The Ryans, of Wadsworth, Ohio, are both 1974 BGSU graduates. Patrick's degree is in accounting and Debra's is in biology. Read more.
