Supervisors

By employing students in your department, you are fulfilling an operational need while providing growth and development opportunities for the students. For many students, working at Bowdoin is a chance to practice and learn the skills and competencies that will make them successful in the future. Your role as a supervisor, and often mentor, is a vital part of that process.

All student on-campus jobs should be posted on Workday through the job requisition process.
