What is the THRIVE Initiative?

THRIVE is not one program—it is an initiative where staff foster achievement, belonging, mentorship, and the transition to Bowdoin for limited-income students and first-generation students. The THRIVE Initiative works to transform the college experience from one that students simply survive into a time in which they thrive. Students are selected and invited to join the programs.
