News and Calendars

Life at Bates revolves around the academic calendar: a fall semester, a winter semester, a 5-week spring Short Term, and summer programs.  Students and faculty have obligations linked to the academic calendar, ranging from registration to tenure and promotion.

Faculty Changes 2012-2013

Bates is a very busy place: the intellectual life of the College is robust and multifaceted. A wide range of programs is presented by faculty and students that are open to all. Athletic contests, music, dance, and theatrical performances highlight student achievement. Lectures and performances by visiting scholars and artists that enrich the academic program are sponsored by departments and interdisciplinary programs, the dean’s office, the Career Development Center, the Office for External Grants, the Harward Center for Community Partnerships, The Learning Commons, the Museum of Art, and the Bates Dance Festival.
