We have space here only to summarize it. For most of its life, Williams understood itself as a “college on a hill.” Students withdrew here to contemplate higher things before heading back into the “real world.” The vocation of faculty was to pass on that knowledge, while staff supported the operation by managing the day-to-day. Over time, however, all of these lines blurred. The beginning may have come in the early 1960s, when students formed the Lehman Service Council to organize their projects in the local community. Two student-initiated programs, the Williamstown Youth Center and the Berkshire Food Project, still thrive. In the way that the student-formed Lyceum of Natural History, some of whose interactions with other cultures we now question, eventually led to the introduction of science into the curriculum, so too in time did the engagement seed germinated in the Lehman Council disperse widely through the college.

  • 2019-2020 Year in Review
    YEAR in REVIEW July 1, 2019– June 30, 2020 BOWDOIN COLLEGE MUSEUM OF ART BRUNSWICK, MAINE C FROM THE CO-DIRECTORS The Bowdoin College Museum of Art serves as an invaluable educational resource for the campus and beyond. It is a champion of the visual arts, a place for reflection and dialogue, and an engine for the production and diffusion of knowledge. During the past academic year, the Museum dedicated itself to reaching out to and engaging with students, faculty and staff, and the wider community. On March 16, 2020, the Walker Art Building—home of the Museum of Art—closed to the public as a precaution against COVID-19. Yet, the Museum has continued to embrace its mission. We are proud of the work done by our colleagues to support remote teaching and learning on the part of faculty and students and by the commitment to create educational resources for the public. The Museum’s new landing page features many of our new digital assets, including online exhibitions, program recordings, publications, and our new “Visit from Home” portal. The past year has brought greater public attention to the long-standing problem of systemic racism in the United States. We feel it is imperative to renew our commitment to inclusivity and equity. Towards this end, the Museum has organized an Anti-Racism Task Force and has inaugurated an Anti-Racism Action Plan, which will guide further outreach and change. Through these twin pandemics, we recognize more than ever that artists are essential workers. We miss seeing their work in person, though appreciate that the arts have much to offer in fostering dialogue and building community.

  • New Spaces in the Library Measuring Success
    The Bowdoin College Library Newsletter December 2017 New Spaces in the Library This fall marked the opening of the H-L Research Lab and the new home of Academic Technology & Consulting on the first floor of Hawthorne-Longfellow Library. The Research Lab was developed as an active and flexible space for formal and informal learning interactions among students, faculty, and research librarians. It has already become the go-to place for drop-in and scheduled student-librarian collaborations, class-based instruction sessions, group study, and peer tutoring. Likewise, the relocation of Academic Technology & Consulting to a central location in H-L Library supports the team’s efforts to engage actively with faculty and students. Their new “Innovation Lab” includes a common area for consultations, hands-on workshops, and sharing innovative technologies to support teaching, learning, and research. Read more » Measuring Success How well is the library meeting the needs of the Bowdoin community? We're glad to share the results of the 2017 MISO Survey (Measuring Information Services Outcomes), which was conducted on campus during the Spring 2017 semester. The web-based quantitative survey is hosted by Bryn Mawr College and is designed to measure how faculty, students, and staff view library and computing services in higher education. Bowdoin’s Library and Information Technology departments received high marks along with valuable feedback that will help us further develop services. A big thank you to all who participated. Read the library's report here. New Book Scanners Support Digitization The Department of Special Collections & Archives has a new, high- performance Zeutschel book scanner.
