Can I bring my dog/cat/pet alligator?
No, please leave your pets at home. Except as required by law, animals are prohibited and the participants are not permitted to bring animals to the campus.
The registration price seems low. Can I give you more money?
Yes! Our association does lose money on the reunions, so if you would like to make an additional contribution you can add a donation to your registration cost.
I am not able to afford the registration cost
If you cannot afford the registration cost due to your financial situation, please contact president@adpsbowdoin.org and we can try to work something out. We don’t want the price to prevent you from attending.
What time should I arrive?
There should be someone at the old chapter house after 5pm on Thursday. If you arrive early or there is no one available to let you in, you can text 703-683-4563
What time is checkout?

What should I bring with me?
Some items to consider bringing:
Shower supplies
Fan – The house does not have AC and can get warm in the summer. Limited fans are available from the college’s summer events office, but it would be better if you can bring your own.
Beverages for Thursday night and late night Friday/Saturday

Who may attend the alumni association meeting on Saturday morning?
The meeting is open to everyone. Voting is restricted to all Bowdoin alumni in attendance on-site and those Bowdoin alumni attending virtually provided they have attended at least 1 other meeting in the past 3 years.
