Mission
The Christian Student Association is a student-run club that seeks to bring together Bowdoin Christian students from all denominations and backgrounds. We strive to do this through different events and initiatives including worship nights, morning prayer, lectures, arranging transportation and connection to churches, and more. The CSA is a space to foster community on campus, celebrate Christian holidays, plan educational events, ask difficult questions, have meals together, and help students continue to engage their faith while they’re at Bowdoin. We are a welcoming space for all students in our community, regardless of faith affiliation or Christian background. Our hope is to connect Christian students with others at Bowdoin, to learn from one another, encourage each other, and continue to grow in our faith journeys.

The purpose of Circolo Italiano is to generate programming about Italian culture on Bowdoin's campus. Bowdoin has a fabulous Italian department which is full of caring, interesting professors and passionate students, so we want to make the most of this by planning events for one another and the entire campus to enjoy. We hope to do this by focusing on the research interests of professors and students who are completing honors theses, but also on aspects of ltalian culture that are universally enjoyable, like gelato, coffee, opera, art, tortellini- the list goes on.

Our mission is to introduce more of the student body to squash. Many students have either not played before, or are not at a high enough level for the varsity level. Squash is a great game to play with friends of any skill level. We hope to get more students interested in the sport and compete against other club teams in the future

The Eisenhower Forum seeks to bring students together to discuss underrepresented thought at Bowdoin. We meet each week having read on a topic of political, philosophical, or policy-related import to offer our thoughts and critique the material. We aim to give students an opportunity to engage seriously with often-neglected ideas and values in a warm, collegial atmosphere. In the same vein, we bring speakers each semester whose ideas go against the grain of mainstream American academia. Eisenhower attracts free thinkers: students with strong convictions but open minds. Past topics of discussion at Eisenhower include presidential authority, federalism, the family in American life, and much more.

Our Go Abstract Strategy Club's mission is to grow as learners and thinkers together, through the game of Go.

Go (also called weiqi, baduk) is considered to be one of the most ancient pastime since it originated around 4th century BC, but what brings it at Bowdoin is its current relevance to disciplines like GOV, DCS, Math and Visual Arts, among others.

The game only has 4 simple rules, but it takes a lifetime to master or an AI algorithm to perfect. It is enjoyable to play because you spend about an hour with your friend, see how they think, how brave or reckless they are, but you always learn something new.

Our group includes students who have lived, traveled to, or currently reside in various countries in North, Central, and South America as well as the Caribbean.
