Gratitude for Gracious Hosts and Their Send-Offs across the Country and Globe

By Bowdoin News

Thirteen Bowdoin send-off events around the world this summer welcomed the Class of 2025, and at times, the Class of 2024, to Polar Bear Nation.

“The energy and excitement at each of these events was palpable and we’re so glad to have these students on campus this fall,” said Kimberly Wing, director of family giving and engagement. “A big thank you to all of the families who hosted these great events.”
