Orientation and First Year Programming

Dean Janet Lohmann

Congratulations Bowdoin Class of 2016! 

We are very excited to meet all of you and help you through your transition into Bowdoin. Although you are all very eager to start the college process right away, information packets won't be going out until the beginning of May. In the meantime, if you have any questions please feel free to send an email to Orientation2016@bowdoin.edu. Either our Interim Coordinator of First-Year Programs, Emily Tong '11 or our Summer Orientation Interns, John Bruno '13 and Chelsea Noble '12 will answer any and all questions. Please also take a look at our FAQ page to help prepare you for Bowdoin.

We are also very excited to announce that this fall all students will participate in an "Orientation Trip" through the Outing Club, McKeen Center for the Common Good or the Bowdoin Science Experience as part of your orientation to Bowdoin. It will be a wonderful introduction to your classmates, Bowdoin College, and the great State of Maine!

The arrival day for the Class of 2016 is August 21, 2012. Please watch this website for updates.

Best of luck with the rest of your school year.
See you in August,

Janet Lohmann
Dean of First-Year Students
