    THE INAUGURATION OF CLAYTON S. ROSE Fifteenth President of Bowdoin College Saturday, October 17, 2015 10:30 a.m. Farley Field House Bowdoin College Brunswick, Maine Bricks The pattern of brick used in these materials is derived from the brick of the terrace of the Walker Art Building, which houses the Bowdoin College Museum of Art. The Walker Art Building is an anchor of Bowdoin’s historic Quad, and it is a true architectural beauty. It is also a place full of life—on warm days, the terrace is the first place you will see students and others enjoying the sunshine—and it is standing on this brick that students both begin and end their time at Bowdoin. At the end of their orientation to the College, the incoming class gathers on the terrace for their first photo as a class, and at Commencement they walk across the terrace to shake the hand of Bowdoin’s president and receive their diplomas.

  • SEA Fellows Summer Science Symposium
    SEA Fellows Summer Science Symposium August 7th, 2018 * University of Maine DArling Marine Center, WAlpole, Maine Welcome to the 3rd annual symposium! Darling Marine Center Director Dr. Heather Leslie and UMaine President Dr. Joan Ferrini-Mundy will open the symposium at 2 PM. Dr. Brian Beal, University oF Maine at Machias proFessor and DEI Director oF Research, will oFFer closing remarks at 4 PM. WaterFront tours are available at 4:05 PM, departing From Brooke Hall. Session A (2:15 to 3 PM) # Presenter(s) Title Authors & AffiliAtions 1 Emma Newcomb Classifying human harassment of seals in Maine Emma Newcomb & Kristina Cammen, University of Maine state waters, 2013 to 2015 From 2013-2015, there were 1,100 marine mammal strandings reported in Maine, of which 166 involved human interaction with pinnipeds, as reported by the stranding networks Marine Mammals of Maine and Allied Whale. Human interaction is broadly classified as harassment, entanglement, boat strike, or shot. The harassment category is vague and often requires further classification. In this project, I evaluated human interaction cases from 2013-2015 in Maine to create a classification system for harassment. I analyzed the frequency of interactions for harbor, gray, and harp seals, and determined the types of interaction with each. I formulated and applied a classification system to these cases and determined harbor seal weanlings in southern Maine were most often harassed. The most frequent type of interaction was approach. By classifying human interaction and analyzing frequency, stranding networks gather information to educate the public of what to do during a stranding, and prevent future human interaction.

Judges will interview students through conferencing on the morning of Saturday, March 28. Transitioning MSSF to a virtual fair has been possible only with the perseverance of hundreds of people: students, teachers, judges, and the dedicated staff of Maine Mathematics & Science Alliance and The Jackson Laboratory. We thank everyone who’s come together to make it possible. We would also like to acknowledge the support UMaine gave to the fair in planning an in-person event, and we hope to work with them again soon to host the event on their campus. The Maine State Science Fair is affiliated with the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF). Society for Science & the Public has canceled the event this year due to concerns about COVID-19. Awards for the 2020 Maine State Science Fair include: 3 Grand Prize Awards • In lieu of a trip to present at Regeneron ISEF, the top three projects at MSSF will be awarded with $500 prizes. Awards for the top three projects in each category Special Awards will be presented for the following organizations: Acadia Institute for Oceanography Society for Science & the Public American Meteorological Society Stockholm Junior Water Prize Association for Women Geoscientists The Jackson Laboratory Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences The Reach project at MMSA Hurricane Island Foundation University of New England Office of Naval Research U.S.
