Forthcoming Exhibit

From Club to Cause: Student Groups and the Politics of Voice at Bowdoin
Fall/Winter 2025 | Second Floor Gallery, Hawthorne-Longfellow Library | Open during Library hours
The story of Bowdoin College cannot be told without its student-run organizations. Across generations, Bowdoin students have found adn built community through shared interests, goals, and identities. Student groups have not only envisioned but have also advanced a more inclusive Bowdoin. From Club to Cause uses the College archives to trace how students have met the tension between ideals and institutional limits head-on, trying to make the word “Bowdoin” mean home.
Curated by Beck Silva ’26 with contributions from Dakota Wilson ’27 and support from SC&A staff.
