BOWLING GREEN, Ohio — Bowling Green State University is striving to keep old campus traditions alive, as well as welcoming in some new ones.
The University kicked off a new tradition this year: "Sunrise on the Hill" invited students to start the semester with an early morning on the hill behind the Doyt Perry Stadium, joined by groups like BGSU cheerleading, secret spirit group "sicsic" and university president Rodney Rogers. Students were encouraged to bring blankets and friends for the first-day-of-class event.
Together, they watched the sun rise over Bowling Green, Ohio in anticipation of the incoming semester and school year.
Getting up bright and early had its rewards--after attending the sunrise event, students received free breakfast and a BGSU blanket.
Over 100 students showed up to the event, indicating this might be a tradition the university keeps in the coming years.
