Bowden fellows exhibit their work
The 2019 Dan Leslie Bowden Fellows in the Humanities shared the full scope of their summer work during an intimate and lively gallery night at the Solomon Art Gallery on Nov. 18. Dozens of members of the RE community ambled through the gallery, perusing the fellows’ photographic exhibits and art work, viewing their documentaries and studying digital presentations.
The evening, which attracted alumni, trustees, parents and students, showcased extraordinary projects that touched on race, anti-Semitism, dance, culture, poverty and vision impairment, and more. The fellows – Olivia Byrd '20, Mia Williamson '20, Jolie Dreiling '20, Diego Duckenfield-Lopez '20, Becca Fisher '20, Mia Landman '20, Kate Menninger '20, Sofia Mora '20, Charith Reddy '20 and Zoe San Martin '20 – described their projects to assembled crowds and answered questions.

Among those in attendance was trustee Jeffrey Miller ’79, whose 2016 donation established the Dan Leslie Bowden Endowment in the Humanities, which honors the legacy of the legendary educator who devoted 63 years of his life to Ransom Everglades. The 2019 Bowden fellows – the third class of fellows to receive support from the endowment – each devised a summer project whose ultimate goal was to explore what it means to be human.
Anyone interested in supporting future Bowden fellows should contact Director of Alumni Relations Vicki Carbonell Williamson ’88.
