Active Minds at Bowdoin College is a chapter of the larger nonprofit organization, Active Minds, which is focused on mental health awareness on college campuses across the U.S. In the Bowdoin College chapter, we strive to promote peer-to-peer discussion about mental illness. This includes ending the stigma surrounding mental health as well as advocating for conversations about suicide prevention. This is accomplished by campus events including speaker presentations, movie screenings, fundraisers, and more activities either focusing on education or stress management.

Arabesque is Bowdoin's only student-run, classical ballet group. Our mission is to provide experienced dancers with the opportunity to continue refining the techniques needed to learn and perform original choreography and to allow inexperienced dancers a place to learn and experience dance. We rehearse and hold open classes weekly, perform about four times throughout the school year, and occasionally host bonding activities that allow members to collectively celebrate this art form.

Avant-Garb Magazine is Bowdoin's premier student-run fashion publication. It was created in the Fall of 2017 as a platform for fashion, beauty, and culture on campus. We produce original content that reflects and celebrates the different styles and traditions of the student body. Avant-Garb seeks to demonstrate that fashion is more than aesthetic but rather, a powerful, ever-changing medium. We hope we can inspire you to engage with your own identity, expression, and fashion through our content.

The Baldwin Center for Learning and Teaching (Baldwin CLT) is committed to helping students and faculty grow as learners and teachers. It takes courage to embrace new challenges, rid ourselves of pre-conceived notions and learn how to learn, but this is what makes life meaningful. There is power in change, and we at the Baldwin CLT assist with developing the intellectual tools and learning strategies that allow students and faculty to take risks and grow together as a community.

BOKA is a colorful co-ed a cappella group that sings a wide variety of genres. BOKA is Bowdoin’s oldest co-ed a cappella group working to provide a fun environment for students to join a musical group on campus. We tend to sing songs that fall into the pop, folk, and indie categories and try to have as much fun as possible doing it. We like to have low-key and relaxed concerts for friends and students on campus and are most well known for “Bursurka”, our join concerts with Ursus and usually perform wearing jewel tones. BOKA is a very collaborative group, looking for input from all of our members, and more importantly, we are all friends and become family by the end of the year!
