Today's events and programs

10:00 am to 3:30 pm - ACCEPTED STUDENTS' DAY AT BATES! Help us welcome the class of 2013 to Bates!  

SHORT TERM PARKING PERMITS: Short term parking permits will be on sale starting on the first day of short term. This is for students who were not awarded parking permits during the academic year. Permits will be sold at Chase Hall Concierge Mon.- Fri. 7:30am- 2:30pm. If you already have a valid, orange, 08S or 08M permit, you do not need another permit. $20.00 will be charged to the student's account. Students who have accumulated five violations or more are banned from campus are not eligible. Parking on campus is by permit only. 

Feeling Stressed?  Come TO MINDFULNESS MEETINGS - Every Monday, 12:10-12:40 *Please note the change to Mondays* 161 Wood St. Chaplaincy Common Room (#227) With Emily Wright-Timko. Mindfulness is a way of being aware of the present moment, developing gentleness toward ourselves and others, and releasing distracting thoughts of the past or future.  Each meeting, we'll check in, and then Emily will offer a brief poem or reading followed by a guided mindfulness practice. This will be a great way to relax, re-focus and re-energize.  Hope to see you there!  If you have questions about Mindfulness Meetings please contact Mike Milliken: mmillike@bates.edu / x6936 or Emily: ewrightt@bates.edu / x6125. Also, let Emily know if you'd like to lead us in a mindfulness practice. Cosponsored by B Well and the Multifaith Chaplaincy
