Maine Day

A day dedicated to Maine's high school seniors.

Each fall we dedicate a special day to Maine's high school seniors. This year we invite you to meet a panel of current Bowdoin students who also grew up in Maine. Hear from them and find out:

How did they learn about Bowdoin as high school students?
What brought them to Bowdoin?
What resources enabled them to adjust to a new environment in their home state and what has kept them at Bowdoin year after year?
How you can get involved in the Bowdoin community and continue to be connected to the greater Maine community.

Registration has closed.

September 29, 2020
7-8 p.m. Eastern Time

Join a panel of Maine students and a Bowdoin admissions counselor. This webinar-style Zoom presentation will include plenty of time for Q&A! We look forward to sharing why Maine and its students are a special part of the Bowdoin community.
