BNOW Gains Momentum, Expands Offerings and Opportunities
By Bowdoin NewsSince its soft launch this fall, the Bowdoin Network of Women (BNOW) has sparked new connections and energy across the alumnae community and is now poised to help women make a difference for each other and the College.
In addition, Bowdoin women gathered for seven "Strangers Dinner" events—a nod to the campus tradition Dinner with Six Strangers—in Boston, Denver, Los Angeles, Mill Valley, CA, New York City, Rye, New York, and Washington, DC.
These dinners created meaningful occasions to build community and strengthen ties to the College and now the table is set for women to help the College by supporting its mission to broaden the opportunities it offers in new and expansive ways.
Alumnae facilitators led virtual webinars on mindfulness and financial planning for young graduates, while in-person events such as a yoga class in Concord, Massachusetts, and a hike in San Francisco brought women together for movement, conversation, and connection
The second annual Women's Leadership Celebration was organized by BNOW, the Sexuality, Women, and Gender Center (SWAG), and Student Leadership Development. Read the story here.
Every event reinforces BNOW’s core purpose to foster lasting, authentic relationships among Bowdoin women.
Philanthropy has been another cornerstone of BNOW’s early success. The newly formed Philanthropy Circle now includes twenty-four founding members, demonstrating the collective power of women's giving.
