Thanks for all that you have done and will do for Bowdoin. Is there a President-for-Life option?

Congrats, Bowdoin! This is excellent for the Bowdoin community and so may thousands of young students. I remember Barry’s “freshman” year as President. Not unlike his freshman year as an undergraduate, Barry was busy making great things happen on campus.

Pres Mills thank you for the vision, dedication and sacrifices. These are tough times on every front. Bowdoin needs leaders of your honesty, courage and skill. This qualifies as good news for the Bowdoin community, students and staff, as well as Brunswick area residents.
