B-W Trustees Approve Name Change to University
Baldwin-Wallace College will become Baldwin Wallace University in a move Trustees say is aimed at more accurately reflecting its current structure and the breadth of the institution's academic program offerings. The Trustees voted at their winter meeting to adopt the name change, effective on July 1 of this year with complete implementation by the end of 2012. Learn More!

YJ4L Gives

The 2012 Senior Class Officers are leading the charge and inviting the entire student body to give back in a big way!

This year's gift is a scholarship that will be awarded to current students on a need basis and titled the YJ4L (Yellow Jackets for Life) Scholarship. In addition to the YJ4L Scholarship, the senior class will also be creating a Rec Fund donated to the Lou Higgins Recreation Center, to be used at their discretion.

If you are interested in joining the YJ4L spirit by contributing a gift, contact Kate Carlson at kcarlson@bw.edu or 440.826.2074!
