Flash content

We use Adobe Flash on our home page to deliver stories and features. It is a very common and well-supported plugin that can easily be downloaded from Adobe. You can continue to use our site without the Flash plugin but we encourage you to download it for an even better experience on the Bowdoin website.

Version 8 is the minimum Flash player for most content on our site. Upgrade today at Adobe.
