Additional collaboration between Bowdoins Career Exploration and Development (CXD) and Roux will include opportunities for Bowdoin students to participate in Rouxs Startup Showcases and Start Summits.

Start Summits are fun, fast-paced weekend events that give undergrads an opportunity to experience building a startup team and racing to develop a business, all with the support of experts and colleagues.

Two Bowdoin students, Roxana Valdez '24 and Ramiro Storni '23, have spent the summer engaging in innovative research projects with the aim of increasing the number of Bowdoin students doing summer research at Roux and the number of students employed as interns at one of Rouxs twenty-six corporate partners.

Designed as an engine of innovation, talent building, and economic growth for Portland, Maine, and northern New England, the Roux Institute has been leading companies and nonprofit organizations at the table from day one, creating programs that are preparing the workforce to stay agile and thrive in a competitive landscape powered by artificial intelligence.

The Roux Institute also helps entrepreneurs launch businesses focused on and powered by technology and with its partners is creating an innovation corridor that will stretch from Boston to Portland and beyond.More about the Roux Institute.

Roux and Bowdoin

Bowdoin shares a long history with David Roux, a former trustee of the College, and his wife, Barbara Roux. The couples generous gift initiated the Roux Center for the Environment, which was completed in fall 2018. The Roux Center brings together faculty from across academic disciplines to encourage collaboration and creativity in the teaching and scholarship of the environment and further strengthens Bowdoins position as a leader in this field of study.

David and Barbara Roux also have extensive family ties to the College. David Rouxs father, Donald Roux, is a member of the Class of 1955; his brother, James Roux, was a member of the Class of 1981; his sister, Mary Roux Train, a member of the Class of 1991; and the couples daughter, Margot Roux, graduated in 2014. David Rouxs mother, Constance Connie Rouxthe sister of Maines former governor James B. Longley, a member of the Class of 1948also took classes at the College.
