As part of a program to raise aspirations and increase awareness of college opportunities, 10 high school students from Maine's Wabanaki tribes visited Bates, Bowdoin and Colby colleges over three days in early July. The program is just one example of "many coordinated efforts by the three colleges and tribal representatives" to reach out to the Native American communities, said Jared Cash '04, the Bates associate dean of admissions who coordinated the Bates visit.
