Mary Ellen Mazey (born February 22, 1949) is President Emeritus of Bowling Green State University.
Mazey's extensive experience in Ohio public universities and with implementing strategic plans, coupled with her understanding of the role higher education has to play in the state's well-being, led the BGSU trustees to select her as the next president of the University on July 1, 2011.
Under her leadership, BGSU experienced a renaissance.
Enrollment grew as the University welcomed its most academically well-prepared classes in history.
Dozens of classrooms and facilities were renovated, constructed or improved to ensure the campus community was a premier learning environment.
Dr.
Mazey led capital projects that will position BGSU for decades, including the Michael & Sara Kuhlin Center and major renovations to University and Moseley halls.
She successfully ushered in the University's second comprehensive fundraising campaign, whose goals are primarily securing funds for student scholarships, professorships and leadership positions, facilities and colleges, schools and programs.
