A message from the Director of Alumni Relations Dear Fellow Polar Bears, A Bowdoin Reunion is a truly unforgettable experience! This incredible weekend, chock-full of joy and energy, is one of the greatest things about being part of Bowdoin s extended family.

This special weekend gives you the opportunity to let loose and laugh with old friends, make new connections, and dive into the entertainment, activities, food, and fun available across campus. This brochure is your introduction to all that s happening. Additional details will be available in print and online later this spring. Go to bowdoinreunion.com for more on events, registration, housing, discounts, and other information to help plan your trip. The time to celebrate is June 1 4.
