new athletics arena at Bowling Green has been recognized for his efforts.
With the Stroh Center set to open this fall, Stroh has been selected as the national donor of the year
for the University Division for The National Association of Athletic Development Directors.
"I’m speechless," Stroh said. "I’m flattered and humbled by a university that has always
treated me and my family so warmly. I accept this award on behalf of all the Falcon fans and wonderful
people from Bowling Green. I want to thank (BGSU President) Carol Cartwright for allowing me to be a
part of the university and to (BGSU athletics director) Greg Christopher and the great people on his
staff who have been so wonderful to me."
As a passionate advocate for Falcon athletics and academic programs for nearly 50 years, Stroh has been a
faithful supporter of college athletics, giving generously to the Sebo Athletic Center, Doyt Perry
