Associate Head of School John A. King Jr. introduced the fellows and thanked the students' faculty mentors and former Bowden student Jeffrey Miller '79, whose seed donation in 2016 created the fellowship program. Bowden's grand-nephew Thomas Bowden also was in attendance along with Head of School Rachel Rodriguez, Head of the Upper School Don Cramp, Chief Operating Officer David Clark, several trustees and many faculty members.
Each year, juniors at RE who are interested in serious study in the humanities submit proposals for summer projects to King and the Bowden fellow selection committee. This year's class is the eighth to benefit from the program, which provides financial support and mentorship for students to complete their passion projects in various humanities topics.
The Class of 2025 fellows traveled to Vietnam, Argentina, Thailand, Maine, Texas and the Appalachian Trail, and they engaged in research, conducted interviews, compiled photos and videos, collected and analyzed data and produced various writings. For detailed information on their projects, go here.
