The Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation awarded Bowdoin a 2017 Beckman Scholars Program award for four fellowships over three years in the natural and behavioral sciences. These prestigious fellowships offer in-depth, sustained undergraduate research experiences for exceptionally talented students under the close guidance of a faculty mentor.
The George I. Alden Trust awarded a generous grant in support of construction of the Roux Center for the Environment, Bowdoin’s greenest and most advanced academic building to date, which will house faculty from across disciplines allowing for creative collaborations around the most pressing environmental issues of our time.
The Bank of America provided important sponsorship support for the Bowdoin College Museum of Art’s summer 2018 exhibition Winslow Homer and the Camera: Photography and the Art of Painting.
The Gladys Kreible Delmas Foundation awarded Bowdoin’s Peary MacMillan Arctic Museum a grant in support of digitizing a selection of Donald MacMillan’s extensive collection of glass lantern slides. The slides document the first half of MacMillan’s career as an Arctic explorer (1908-1930) and a small number date to the later 1930s and 1940s
