Student Programs

Currently there are two student programs: the BatesStar program (Student Alumni Relations) and the Senior Gift Program.  Students must be seniors to participate in these programs, although there are opportunities for underclassmen to get involved.

The BatesStar program allows students to interact with the Bates Administration, Trustees and Alumni and helps create great networking opportunities.  Through this program, students learn how to effectively serve the College as alumni and how to become educated leaders and volunteers for the future.

The Senior Gift program serves as an opportunity for the Senior Class to make its first philanthropic mark on the College.  Senior Gift stresses the importance of joining the Bates alumni family in staying involved, giving back to the College, and supporting its current projects and student activities.  It is a chance for the class to come together before graduation to show its appreciation for Bates.
