I am currently Co-President of the Bowdoin Outing Club. I took Leadership Training in the fall of my first-year. I made many great friends through this. The training offers students the chance to better leadership skills and nourish a love for Maine. I was also secretary for the club my sophomore year and Canoe Club Head last year.
Maine has access to lots of outdoor activities and beauty.
The trips also help students meet people that they may not have. Most of my high school friends went to big schools, but I wanted a more intimate environment and Bowdoin offers that. I like the small classes, getting to know professors, and the beautiful setting. I wish more students would take advantage of the outside community and not think of Bowdoin as isolated from Brunswick or the rest of Maine. Students need to get into the community and off campus more.
