owdoinsider | o f f - c a m p u s | BOWDOIN RUNS BOSTON At least 20 Bowdoin students and alumni and one faculty member were among the more than 20,000 runners who pounded the pavement from Hopkinton to downtown Boston in the 2011 Boston Marathon on April 19. Joan Benoit Samuelson ’79, returning to the race for the first time since 1993, finished in 2:51:29 — on the anniversary of her 1983 win, when she came in at 2:22:42 and shaved 2:47 off the world record. Nate Krah ’08 was the 29th person across the finish line with a time of 2:22:24 (an average 5:26 pace), and the fastest Polar Bear in this year’s race. We’re sure there were more Bowdoin runners, but these are the other fleet-footed Polar Bears of which we’re aware, with their finish times. Next year, if you get a bib for Boston, let us know!

| o f f - c a m p u s | GIRLS ON THE RUN When she became vice president of partnerships and development for Girls on the Run, Katy Brown ’98 had the opportunity to combine two passions—a love of running and a desire to help others—into a career. Through 187 chapters across the U.S. and Canada, Girls on the Run International is a non-profit that encourages pre-teen girls to develop self-respect and healthy lifestyles through running. The programs, which are 10 or 12 weeks long and culminate in a celebratory 5k, concentrate on the girls’ physical, emotional, mental, and social well being and “inspire [them] to be joyful, healthy and confident,” says Katy. To learn more, volunteer as a coach, or participate as a 5K running buddy, visit www.girlsontherun.org. “WE INSPIRE GIRLS TO KNOW AND ACTIVATE THEIR LIMITLESS POTENTIAL AND TO BOLDLY PURSUE THEIR DREAMS. NO LIMITS. NO CONSTRAINTS. ONLY OPPORTUNITIES TO BE REMARKABLE.” 100% EMPLOYMENT | n e w s | bowdoinsider Coach Katy Brown ’98 flanked by Kara (left) and Carly (right), at a Girls on the Run 5K last year. “Do you have any students who are graduating and are looking for jobs?” was a question Bowdoin Professor of Computer Science Eric Chown received almost daily last spring. “I [had] to tell them, ‘sorry,’” he says. By commencement time, every one of Bowdoin’s graduating computer science majors had a job lined up after college. And, with some at major internet companies, where average starting salaries hover around $70k, they weren’t your basic entry-level jobs. “I wish I had started somewhere even close to that,” Chown laughs. “But it’s not like Bowdoin is just teaching people vocational skills,” he says. “We teach students to think and reason. It’s just that, when you add computer science to the package, those skills are highly valuable in today’s world.” CLASSNEWS@BOWDOIN.EDU 11
