Bowden Fellows Gallery Night showcases summer humanities research projects of seven RE seniors
Ransom Everglades’ Class of 2026 Dan Leslie Bowden Fellows in the Humanities showcased their completed research projects during Bowden Fellows Gallery Night, a capstone event that opened in the Lewis Family Auditorium and concluded in the Solomon Art Gallery. Introduced by RE’s Chief of Innovation and Strategic Programming John A. King Jr., the director of the nine-year-old program, Jacob Zide ‘26, Alicia Medina ‘26, Bridget Mestepey ‘26, Sophia Linfield ‘26, Christopher Tsialas ‘26, Alexandra Russoniello ‘26 and Ana Gonzalez ‘26 presented their work on themes that included reconciliation, remembrance and grief.
The appreciative crowd included Bowden grandnephew Thomas Bowden and Jeffrey Miller ‘79, whose seed donation in 2016 created the fellowships, along with Head of School Rachel Rodriguez and Chief Operating Officer David Clark '86. The Dan Leslie Bowden Fellowships in the Humanities offer select Ransom Everglades students to carry out humanities research in areas of their choosing under the mentorship of King and other RE humanities department faculty members.
Students in 11th grade are eligible to apply for Bowden fellowships for the summer prior to their senior year. The Bowden Fellowship Committee, which until his death included Mr. Bowden, favors proposals that "demonstrate courage in the passionate pursuit of what makes us human."
For 63 years, Bowden worked at Ransom Everglades as an English teacher, college counselor, administrator, advisor to the head of school and mentor to thousands of students and faculty. From his start at RE in 1955 and until his death on Sept. 14, 2018, his love of language and literature provided the intellectual foundation for generations of students.
