This summer, nearly a hundred students received funded internship grants from Career Exploration and Development (CXD), which provides students with a $5,000 stipend so they can pursue unpaid internships in their areas of interest.
Bowdoin has entered into a partnership with The Roux Institute at Northeastern University in Portland, Maine to provide opportunities for students to supplement their Bowdoin studies—and both institutions share the goal of transforming midcoast Maine into a research-intensive technology hub that attracts and retains talent in these fields.
Bowdoin has joined with thirty-two peer institutions in an amicus curiae brief filed with the Supreme Court of the United States in support of Harvard College and the University of North Carolina and policies that allow admissions officers at both institutions to consider race as a factor in the review of a college application.
This step makes Bowdoin one of just seven institutions nationally with comprehensive need-blind aid policies for all students, regardless of citizenship.
Students who received community and environmental fellowships from Bowdoin this summer interned at Maine nonprofits and in town offices to help improve the lives of others.
Six Bowdoin sophomores—plus four Smith College students, plus students from the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa—worked together with mentors and faculty this summer to launch ambitious research projects.
