Get ready to celebrate June 2-5, 2016
A message from the Director of Alumni Relations Dear Fellow Polar Bears, If you haven t already experienced a Bowdoin Reunion, now s the time! If you have, you know this incredible weekend is one of the greatest things about being part of our extended family, but it only comes around once every five years for your class. Reunion, June 2-5, is your opportunity to let loose and laugh with old friends, forge new connections, and immerse yourself in the entertainment, activities, food, and fun that reverberate across campus during this special weekend. Because this is the last of many celebrations to mark Clayton Rose s first year as president, we expect it will be one for the storybooks! This brochure provides an introduction to all that s happening, and additional details will be made 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 2-5 I look forward to seeing you here in Brunswick! Rodie Flaherty Lloyd 80 For more information, go to bowdoinreunion.com
