RepresentAsian: 2025 Alumni Reflections Video
In honor of Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month 2025, we’re proud to share a special video featuring reflections from Asian alumni.
They speak candidly about their time at Bowdoin—navigating a predominantly white institution, embracing their identities, and shaping their journeys.
This powerful video highlights the resilience, diversity, and impact of our Asian alumni community. Watch here. We hope you’ll share it and join us in celebrating our vibrant community.
