    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.

  • Winter 2009 (Pdf)
    From the President I just finished reading an extraordinary book. In The Age of Wonder: How the Romantic Generation Discovered the Beauty and Terror of Science, Richard Holmes tells a series of rivet- ing stories profiling the eighteenth century pioneers of chemistry, biology, and astronomy. Hol- mes portrays the close interconnection between science and art as intrinsic to the creative process. At the source of scientific discovery is the remarkable quality of wonder—the deep and resilient desire to better understand the origins of life and the cosmos, not just to quench an unrelenting curiosity, but also to learn how to reside well on our remarkable planet. Perhaps this is the holy grail of science education—the inevitable intersection of creativity and analysis. Wonder requires both a poetic sensibil- ity and a rigorous empiricism. This is the heart of At the source of scientific discovery is the remarkable environmental learning as well. At Unity College quality of wonder-the deep and resilient desire to better we strive to provide our students with an empir- ically-based, methodologically rich approach to understand the origins of life and the cosmos, not just field biology and ecology. Our students know that to quench an unrelenting curiosity, but also to learn they belong in the field. Indeed, they thrive there. how to reside well on our remarkable planet. But that is merely the starting point. What ques- tions emerge from their experiences? How might they explore those questions and turn them into sound research? Or interesting works of art? When you spend your time in the field, creative inspiration is directly encountered.

  • Testimony of Daniel W. Walker on Behalf of Maine Independent Colleges Association Before the Committee on Taxation
    Daniel W. Walker [email protected] TESTIMONY OF DANIEL W. WALKER ON BEHALF OF MAINE INDEPENDENT COLLEGES ASSOCIATION BEFORE THE COMMITTEE ON TAXATION In opposition to LD 659, An Act To Ease The Property Tax Burden By Authorizing Municipalities To Require Payments In Lieu Of Taxes From Certain Exempt Organizations Joint Standing Committee on Taxation April 14, 2021 Senator Chipman, Representative Terry, and members of the Taxation Committee, my name is Daniel Walker, and I am an attorney with Preti Flaherty and I am here today on behalf of the Maine Independent Colleges Association (MICA) to testify in opposition to LD 659. MICA represents 11 private, nonprofit colleges and universities1 throughout Maine that serve over 25,000 students, over 7,000 of whom are from Maine. These institutions are located in municipalities of all sizes across the State, from Maine’s largest city to small tourist towns and farming communities. Collectively, the 11 institutions are an economic force and an integral part of Maine’s Higher Educational eco-system. While they share the attributes of being private and nonprofit, these institutions are highly diverse and serve very different aspects of the educational needs of Maine people. Together they: Employ over 6,000 Maine workers. Have a total payroll in excess of $340 million. Have direct expenditures of over $615 million. Have an estimated economic impact on Maine’s economy of over a billion dollars each year. Directly contribute close to $2M to municipalities. Value of community service is over $24 million. Provide nearly $55 million in financial aid to Maine students.

  • Ummary of the Commission on Higher Education
    ummary of the Commission on Higher Education Governance SThe 1996 Commission on Higher Education Governance, one of many commissions, task forces and committees that have been appointed over the years to “look at” issues in higher education, has looked, and what the Commission has found is a remarkable disconnect between the public, the government and the institutions of higher education. In the past such a disconnect may have been attributed to a misunderstanding or misinformation, but this time it’s different. The disconnect seems to have become synonymous with distrust. Parents and students can’t understand why tuition has soared at twice the rate of inflation, elected officials search furiously for greater accountability for the public dollar, and higher education watches in disbelief as it struggles along with flat funding and a shrinking percentage of the State budget. Buildings deteriorate, enrollments remain flat and the most precious commodity of all in higher education, an institution’s reputation, hangs in the balance. What possibly can a new report say or do that could overcome such a perilous outlook? This Commission has offered a series of recommendations that will help in a number of areas. But what must happen cannot be dictated by a report. The real solution is in the re-establishment of the partnership between the citizens of Maine, the Legislature, the Governor and our public and private institutions of higher education, a partnership that will remove the regrettable distrust that has grown between them. This partnership is so important that Maine’s success and future vitality as a State depend on it.

I am grateful for the opportunity to serve the Unity College community until such time as a new permanent president is selected. I have known of Unity for better than thirty years. I remember well visiting the campus when the coops were truly the coops! Over the years I have come to the campus a number of times on various academic-related matters. And as a faculty member of the Edmund S. Muskie School at the University of Southern Maine (USM), I have had a half-dozen or so Unity grads in my graduate level classes. They are uniformly bright people who possess a strong academic background. They are self-confi dent and yet eager to acquire new tools and skills to add to their already substantial repertoire. They are interesting and interested young people. They have a terrifi c work ethic and a deep commitment to environmental stewardship. As a measure of Unity College, they speak volumes for what happens here and the wonderful work done by the College’s students, faculty, staff and administration. Before assuming my new duties I visited the campus several times and spoke with many of the people who make Unity work.
