Commencing the Bowdoin Conversation

Michael Toscano

On April 3, 2013, the NAS published What Does Bowdoin Teach? How a Contemporary Liberal Arts College Shapes Students. We invite our readers to join the conversation by considering our findings and sharing their responses. If you have questions, musings, objections, corrections, please leave your comments below. We are also accepting reactions and reflections in the form of articles via email to contact@nas.org.

How did What Does Bowdoin Teach? enhance your understanding of contemporary liberal arts education? What lingering questions do you have? What lessons do you draw from our findings? Do you disagree with our conclusions? Does our description of liberal arts at Bowdoin resonate with your own experience as a parent, student, or faculty member? Do you have recommendations for how liberal arts education can be reformed?

We look forward to hearing from you.
