Bowdoin College students occupy student center, protest college investments linked to Gaza conflict.

Bowdoin College students, part of Students for Justice in Palestine, occupied Smith Union to protest the college's investment in defense and arms companies linked to the conflict in Gaza. The encampment, the first of its kind this year, comes after students urged the college to divest from such funds and disclose investments. The college closed the student center, citing policy violations, and warned of potential disciplinary action against protesters. Supporters from faculty and staff have backed the students' demands.
