From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dr. Paul J. Olscamp (born in Montreal, Quebec, Canada on August 29, 1937)^[1] is a retired Canadian-American academic and university administrator. While attending the University of Western Ontario, Dr. Olscamp was a member of the Delta Upsilon fraternity.^[2] He received his Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts degrees in 1958 and 1960, respectively. He received his doctorate in philosophy from the University of Rochester in 1962, the first such degree awarded there. His continuing love of the subject was evident during his time at Bowling Green State University (BGSU) because he taught a philosophy course almost every semester, despite managing all his duties as president.

Dr. Olscamp served as president of Western Washington University for seven years. While president of BGSU, he held a position on the Board of Directors of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities. He was appointed to the National Council on the Humanities by President Ronald Reagan in 1987. In 1989 he was elected as the Mid-American Conference representative to the National Collegiate Athletic Association’s Presidents' Commission. Following his retirement from BGSU in 1995, Dr. Olscamp served as interim president of the University of South Dakota and then went on to hold the same position at Mayville State University in North Dakota.
