Alumni Council

The Alumni Council is the governing body of the Alumni Association and serves as the primary liaison between the Association and the Bates administration, faculty, and student body.

The purposes of the Alumni Council are:

  • To unite the alumni body in supporting the college.
  • To promote interaction between the alumni and the college’s administration, faculty and student body.
  • To communicate the concerns and aspirations of the alumni body to the college’s administrators.

Be sure to read the Alumni Council Newsletter for stories, reminiscences and valuable information. Additional information about the Alumni Council can be found in the Alumni Association Bylaws. If you have questions or suggestions about Bates engaging alumni, the Alumni Council can be one of your most effective means of communicating your ideas and concerns. Send your emails to alumni@bates.edu with “Alumni Council” in the body or subject.
