GRADUATE ASSISTANT SPOTLIGHT-
ZACHARY NOESEN
Program: Masters in Public Administration
Multicultural Initiatives for Graduate Student Success Graduate Assistant
Prior to starting my masters program at BGSU, I received my Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy, Politics, Economics and Law (PPEL) from Bowling Green State University. I am originally from a nearby suburb of Chicago called Lombard, IL. I moved to Bowling Green to complete my undergrad and stayed in Bowling Green because I adore BGSU. I love the campus, the community, and the numerous opportunities BGSU has provided for me. There is no place I would rather be to complete my graduate education.
As an undergrad at BG, I worked on campus as a Feminist Ambassador for the Center for Women and Gender Equity. I also spent the latter part of my undergrad working for the Cocoon, a local non-profit that provides shelter and advocacy services to survivors of sexual, domestic, and gender based violence. I also spent time participating in the Undergraduate Student Government at BGSU with a commitment to make campus a more welcoming and inclusive space. These positions helped foster the values of equity, inclusivity, and respect that In turn allow me to continue this work as a graduate student as the MIGSS Graduate Assistant.
As the Graduate Assistant for Multicultural Initiatives for Graduate Student Success I am working with various departments and organizations across campus to host events and provide services in an effort to increase opportunities, well-being, belonging, and overall success of diverse and underrepresented populations in our community. To learn more about upcoming events or to provide feedback, please visit the MIGSS website!
In my free time, I enjoy playing chess (although I am not very good at it), practicing yoga, cooking, and spending time with my friends and family. Please feel free to reach out to me at znoesen@bgsu.edu or at gradmigss@bgsu.edu to suggest a collaboration or communicate your thoughts to MIGSS. I look forward to working with you!
