Lobster is an essential ingredient of an on-campus Bowdoin Reunion Weekend celebration.

About Luke’s Lobster
Luke’s Lobster first opened its doors in New York City’s East Village in 2009 and now brings traceable, sustainable seafood to guests across the country. They work directly with fishermen to handpick the best seafood, bring it straight to their own seafood company, and then ship directly to the shacks. Cutting out the middleman means better tasting lobster, crab, and shrimp—and a fairer price for the fishermen.
Luke’s Lobster was opened with the vision of supporting and giving back to their local communities and to their Maine roots. Today, through their partnership and contributions to The Ocean Foundation, they work to support their coastal communities—the people and towns where their seafood comes from, and the waterways in and around the cities they call home—by funding activities that keep waters healthy and fishing communities strong. In 2018, Luke’s Lobster furthered its commitment to sustainability and socially conscious business practices by becoming a certified B Corporation.
Grab Your Reunion Swag!
To celebrate Reunion we’ve made special Bowdoin face masks for alumni who register for a Reunion event. When filling out your registration, please let us know if you’d like a mask and where you’d like us to mail it. You’re welcome to register for multiple Reunion events (and we hope you do!), but we will mail one mask per person.
