Video: Seniors gathering for Commencement describe Bates in a word
Videographer Josh Ajamu ’14 of Breinigsville, Pa., and I headed out to Alumni Walk at 9 a.m. on Commencement day to ask one question of a few graduating seniors (and one nonagenarian):
What one word best describes Bates?
Their responses are below. “In a Word: Bates” is an end-of-year project of the Bates Fund that’s seen a variety of alumni, faculty, staff and students responding to the Bates-in-a-word question.
“Holistic,” says Joseph Kibbe ’11 of Portland, Ore.
“First-rate,” says Frank Glazer, Bates Artist in Residence
“Opportunity,” says Ethan Waldman ’11 of Playa del Rey, Calif.
“Chill,” says Gavin Segall-Abrams, Greensboro, N.C.
“Experience,” says Nikki Rankine ’11 of Brooklyn, N.Y.
“Tight-knit,” says Ada Tadmor ’11 of Brookline, Mass.
“Tradition,” says Graham Jones ’11 of Belmont, Mass.
“Rollercoaster,” says Shervin Chambers ’12 of Brooklyn, N.Y.
