BGSU provides ‘full circle’ for RN to BSN coordinator Lara Wilken recalls her amazing journey from dropout to earning her doctorate By Bob Cunningham ’18 Full circle. It’s a phrase Dr. Lara Wilken returned to over and over again as she recounted her journey from high school dropout to becoming the RN to BSN coordinator at Bowling Green State University. The journey started at BGSU Firelands. After her daughter was born, Wilken walked on to the Huron campus and found out how she could become a nurse. She credits the late John Clark, who was the coordinator of career services, for setting her on the path to success.
