Slideshow: A Look at the First Days

By Bowdoin
The opening weeks of the semester, when new students are introduced to Bowdoin and old friends reconnect, are a celebratory time of year on campus.
Our able team of photographers captured many memorable moments over the last three weeks. The slideshow includes photos taken at the First-Year Convening Dinner, academic and student activities fairs, iPad and MacBook distribution, the President's Welcome, matriculation, the annual Maine lobster bake, and the fall Student Night at the Museum. (Also sprinkled in are a few shots from orientation trips.)
