Members of the Dean's staff focus energy and attention on community-building initiatives and helping individual students succeed academically and grow personally. The mission of our office is to guide, support, and challenge students in order that they may attain their full academic and personal potential at Bowdoin and beyond.

The Dean's Office is open 8:30 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. daily.  Please come visit! 

Members of our staff are knowledgeable about issues and problems that arise for students and are a good source of information about College resources and policies. We offer general advising as well as referrals to other campus offices. We help students and parents manage academic and non-academic situations as they arise, consulting extensively with faculty and staff across the College.

In addition to serving as the primary advocates for individual students, members of our staff also orchestrate a number of specific programs, systems and services, including the following:

  • academic advising
  • accommodations for students with disabilities
  • community standards and the Judicial Board process
  • crisis intervention and response
  • emergency student loans
  • international student advising
  • multicultural student support
  • orientation
  • transfer and exchange student advising

Members of our staff and the Residential Life staff share in an on-call rotation. This enables us to be available to students in emergency situations at all hours of the day or night.

We encourage students with questions or concerns to stop by or contact our office. We will answer your questions or point you toward the appropriate campus or community resource.
