Off-Campus Study Office: Records, George J. Mitchell Department of Special Collections & Archives, Bowdoin College Library, Brunswick, Maine
The George J. Mitchell Department of Special Collections & Archives, like all archives and special collections libraries, is the creation of human beings who have collected, organized, and described things in ways that reflect personal, cultural, societal, and institutional biases. Although we strive to preserve and present collections in a manner that is respectful to the individuals and communities who create, use, and are represented in the collections, we acknowledge that our systems are neither neutral nor perfect. We encourage you to let us know if you encounter materials, descriptive language, or practices that are offensive or harmful, particularly those for which inadequate context or warning is offered. We are committed to modifying and updating our descriptive practices to use respectful and inclusive terminology and appreciate your help in this work. We look forward to supporting you in your research and learning together.
The Office of Off-Campus Study at Bowdoin College works closely with students to find a program or institution that enriches their academics through the exposition and integration to new experiences. Advising is done on an individual basis, focusing on the student's academic and personal goals for the study abroad program. Off-Campus also works on the transitions pre and post departure to ensure a successful study away. Their website includes an extensive list of programs available to Bowdoin students in the fall, spring, and summer semesters. Students are able to receive aid through grants and fellowship to cover the expenses of studying abroad.
Files of the Off-Campus Study Office. Included are brochures of the Intercollegiate Sri Lanka Educational (ISLE) program, the SITA program, and CBB program, as well as other Off-Campus study programs.
