Mission
To provide an invaluable opportunity to explore and engage with many disciplines of contemporary scientific research and issues, within and extending out of Bowdoin College, through interdisciplinary science journalism and publication.

About Bowdoin Science Journal:
Recent events have made it clear that scientific literacy is required to be an engaged, thoughtful citizen of the modern world. Science is for everyone. It should be communicated clearly and thoroughly. We strive to encourage thoughtful and interdisciplinary scientific thinking in an accessible and exciting manner. We wish to engage science and non-science students alike, fostering dialogue between the two groups and enhancing the educational experience of both.

We hope to encourage students to dive into the many facets of science and engage with current issues revolving around science. By offering different perspectives and lenses of scientific thinking, we wish to enrich people’s understanding of the world around them. We aim to grow as students in the sciences by learning more about these issues and sharing this knowledge with others. Our target audience for these publications are students, faculty, alumni, and community members affiliated with Bowdoin College, as well as any individual who is seeking to learn more about the science that governs the world around us.

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.
