What is RSS?
RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is an easy way for you to keep up with your favorite news and information. An RSS feed contains headlines and links to full stories or digest posts at Bowdoin.edu. Instead of you having to go to Web sites for the latest news and information on the topics you care about most, you can use category-specific RSS to stay informed as news changes.
Bowdoin.edu offers several RSS feeds for use in news readers and Web logs (blogs). Use the links below to choose the RSS feeds that interest you. RSS reader programs vary, so follow your program's direction for signing up.
