This summer, thirty Bowdoin students received fellowships though the McKeen Center and Environmental Studies Program to intern with Maine-based nonprofits in a number of different areas, including coastal resiliency, food security, homelessness, economic development, and land conservation among other topics.

Ten students focused on social and civic issues; the others worked with environmental organizations.
