Bowden Fellows to share summer projects
The inaugural class of Dan Leslie Bowden Fellows in the Humanities – Violet Handforth ’18, Gabrielle Jadotte ’18, Stephen Kaiser ’18, Andrew Lorenzen ’18, Noa Richard ’18 and Megan Zou ’18 – will share their fellowship projects with the RE student body and community at large on Oct. 10-11.
The students will present their work to their peers at the Upper School during an assembly on Oct. 10, then address students at the Middle School a day later. The entire RE community is invited to the Solomon Art Gallery from 7-8 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 11, for the fellows' exhibit and discussion of their work. The six seniors wrote about their summer experiences in stories for the fall RE Log magazine, which will arrive to mailboxes in mid- to late-September.
Handforth studied art at the Rhode Island School of Design; Jadotte brought popular local artists to a summer program for underserved students in Miami; Kaiser traveled to Shanghai for research on the Jews who migrated there during World War II; Lorenzen produced his first feature film in Miami; Richard created a documentary on Syrian refugee families in Miami; and Zou studied art at Harvard Summer School.
Members of the Class of 2019 interested in applying for a 2018 Dan Leslie Bowden Fellowship in the Humanities should contact Associate Head of School John A. King, Jr. Application information will be available Oct. 15.
A committee that included King, Department Chairs Mike Groeninger and Jen Nero, Dean of the Junior Class Paul Natland ’02 and Advisor to the Head of School Bowden selected the first-year fellowship recipients early in 2017. The fellowships were made possible by the generosity of Jeffrey Miller '79, whose endowment gift in the summer of 2016 created the Dan Leslie Bowden Fellowships in the Humanities.
