The student digital media team plays an active role in Bowdoin's online communications and social networks. From the Bowdoin website and the Bowdoin Daily Sun, to its various social media accounts, the digital media team provides content and helps to manage Bowdoin's Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts. Working with Holly Sherburne, Director of Social Media, the team offers key insights on the Bowdoin student experience, and helps develop best strategies to engage both students and alumni.

Quinn joined the digital media team last year as blogger and photographer. This year she assumes duties as manager of the Arts & Culture Facebook page, as well as a contributor to Bowdoin's Instagram account. Quinn is a senior English major and computer science minor from Scarsdale, NY. When she's not busy leading the hip-hop dance group Elemental, writing for the Bowdoin Orient, or patiently responding to people asking if she's Taylor Swift, she's researching the feasibility of owning a micro pig or penguin.
Margot is a native Atlantan and Bowdoin senior. When not writing for the BDS, she maintains a style blog featuring Bowdoin students. Margot plans on pursuing a career in media and public relations after graduation.
With an interest in Art History and the Bowdoin Museum of Art, we knew right away that Katherine would be a fit to help ramp up the museum's presence on social media. A first-year student from Groton, MA, and Orr's Island, Maine, Katherine can be seen playing "fall ball" (bi-weekly captains' lacrosse practice) and sailing off of Bethel Point for the Polar Bears.
Mariah caught our eye on Instagram early in the year with her beautiful - and fun - campus candids. It wasn't long before we had to bring her on board to Instagram on behalf of Bowdoin. Mariah is a first-year student from Bangor, Maine. She is a swimmer who is frequently seen rushing to Farley for practice and spending late hours in Thorne and/or the VAC. Her favorite things include laughing, the smell of fall, and baby animals.
A talent with PhotoShop along with an interest in graphic and Web design put Christine in our sights for work on the Bowdoin website, along with creating promotion materials for our social media efforts. Christine is a sophomore from Chapel Hill, NC, and her interests include folksy jams, Carolina basketball, and coffee.
Knowing how to wield a killer hashtag, Colin's efforts are focused on Twitter where you'll find him crafting tweets for the Bowdoin Daily Sun and other special events on campus. He's a sophomore from Scarborough, Maine, which is a whole forty-five minutes away from Brunswick. A prospective computer science and math double major, he can often be found riding his unicycle or at super snacks.
Nina was recruited from the Student Employment Office where we spotted her talent for crafting witty tweets. She tweets for the Bowdoin Daily Sun, alumni events, and is working on a new featured called Top Tweets of the Month. Nina enjoys being warm, avoiding birds, wearing her wolf shirt, and forwarding her mom's ridiculous emails to all of her friends.
A 3-year veteran of the digital media team, Madison has helped to grow our Twitter and Facebook following, and, more recently, Instagram. This year, as a senior with full plate of activities, she focuses her efforts on capturing images for Bowdoin's burgeoning Instagram account. Madison is a sociology major from the Windy City who fell in love with the East Coast's whoopie pies and lobster rolls. When she's not snapping pictures for Bowdoin you can find her petting any and all dogs on the Quad or sitting in the front row of a Longfellows concert.
