Bowden fellowship culminates on RE stage
Bowden Fellow Isa Peña '19 directed children with intellectual disabilities in a performance of Shrek: The Musical Jr. with the Inclusion Theatre Project on Aug. 8 at the Lewis Family Auditorium. RE drama teacher Sam Shapiro and Maddy Bagnall ’21, Lua Balestra ’22, Penelope Cartaya, Megan Diston ’21, Vanessa Gonzalez ’19, Asher Lieberman ’20, Andrea Pearl ’19, Alessandra Peña, Alexandra Prio-Touzet ’21, Matthew Rocha ’19 and Viviana Vela ’21 performed with the children, helping to bring Peña's summer fellowship project to life.
Peña was among eight rising seniors who earned a Dan Leslie Bowden Fellowship in the Humanities for summer study in 2018. The fellowships are part of an endowment that honors the late Dan Leslie Bowden, a former English teacher and Advisor to the Head of School whose tenure at RE lasted 63 years. Peña's goal was to help and inspire children with intellectual disabilities such as Down syndrome and autism in the performing arts.
A generous endowment gift by Jeffrey Miller ’79 created the fellowship program in June 2016, allowing select students to pursue advanced summer studies in the humanities. All students in 11th grade are eligible to apply for Bowden fellowships to be used in the summer prior to their final year at Ransom Everglades. For more information on the fellowships, contact Associate Head of School John A. King Jr. To support future Bowden fellows, contact Director of Advancement Greg Pollard.
