On Thursday, March 29 and Friday, March 30, alumni in Central Texas gathered for a reception featuring Claudia Marroquin ’06, Director of Admissions. Bilal Mujtaba ’96 and Matt Ramos ’12 graciously hosted these receptions at their homes near Houston and Austin respectively, which featured more than 25 alumni and parents. Each night began with remarks from Claudia, followed by a question and answer session, and ended with a networking opportunity. Alumni and parents displayed a deep interest to know more about the admissions recruitment process and to help advance Bowdoin’s name in Texas. It was a very informative night with much to be grateful for and celebrate.

We would like to extend a special thanks to Bobbitt Noel ’72 for his efforts and generosity, without which these two events would not have been possible.
