The BGSU Board of Trustees approved the hiring of Casey Wyman, a former Air Force officer and current chief financial officer at the University of Nevada Las Vegas, as its new CFO and vice president for finance and administration.
He will take over for Sheri Stoll, who announced her retirement in February from the position she’s held since 2007.
BGSU President Rodney Rogers said Wyman’s selection came after national search including a visit to campus.
Wyman, Rogers said, was identified as “ an incredibly strong candidate” who could “continue to the great progress” made by Stoll and “build upon that foundation.”
Wyman has held the CFO position at UNLV since 2023 after retiring from the Air Force as a lieutenant colonel.
He was the CFO for the United States Air Force Academy. Before that he played a variety of roles including serving as a comptroller squadron commander, air advisor in Afghanistan, appropriations manager, and financial officer.
He will arrive on campus in late summer, and work with Stoll during the transition, before she retires in January.
This marks another changeover in the top ranks of the administration. Ravi Krovi came on as provost, the top academic officer, last month. Joe Whitehead left that position a year ago and Glenn Davis, had been serving as interim.
A search is underway for a new vice president for university advancement and president and CEO of the BGSU Foundation, Inc.
Pam Conlin, who now holds that position, is retiring.
“One of the things that is allowing Bowling Green State University have such momentum and success is continuity of strategy, continuity of leadership, and our ability to transition leadership from one person to another person,” Rogers said. “It’s realizing it’s not necessarily the person, it’s the institution that we are focused on to move forward.”
He noted that Wyman had been a CFO of two different types of institutions, including UNLV, a research institution research university with more than 32,000 students. He “brings great expertise.”
Rogers added that for Wyman ‘there’s some family considerations in the Midwest and he’s looking for a great place to raise his family. And as you know, Bowling Green’s a great place.”
Rogers has three more years on his current contract.
