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.

"...Places like Bowdoin do not sustain themselves automatically either. They endure because generations of people decide that what they received here should remain available to someone they may never meet."
