More than 200 events are carried out over Reunion Weekend. These include lectures by distinguished alumni, faculty and staff, concerts, campus and museum tours, receptions, meals and children’s activities. Program and Event Staff are essential to the success of this highly visible aspect of the weekend. This position requires a high level of personal responsibility, independence, organization and troubleshooting.
Reunion Weekend also offers programming for affinities including LGBTQ+ alumni, Bowdoin RepresentASIAN alumni, Bowdoin College Black Alumni Association (BCBAA), and LatinX alumni. We aim to pair Reunion Student Ambassadors with shared interests and experiences with these special programs. Please let the Alumni Relations staff know if you are interested in staffing opportunities around these programs.
Student Ambassadors
Every year, Bowdoin welcomes back nearly 2000 alumni and guests for Reunion Weekend, a fun filled, action packed, four-day weekend of Polar Bear pride. Attendees enjoy reconnecting with one another, revisiting favorite places, exploring what has changed, and meeting Bowdoin students of today. Reunion Student Ambassadors (RSAs) play a key role in the facilitation and success of the weekend. The Office of Alumni Relations hires over 75 students to work Reunion Weekend.
We are no longer actively seeking applications, however, if you would like to be added to our waitlist, please contact the Office of Alumni Relations (alumni@bowdoin.edu). We will contact waitlisted students in April if positions become available. Please email Lindsey Lessard, Senior Associate Director of Alumni Relations, at llessard@bowdoin.edu with questions.
