Harward, President 1989-2002 &#8211; Bates Reaches Out<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Prior to the Bates presidency, Donald West Harward earned his Ph.D. in philosophy and published research in mathematics, analytical philosophy, epistemology and logic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through expanded academic programs and campus facilities, spirited efforts to reach out beyond Bates, and a near-constant encouragement to the Bates community to engage in the work of the College collaboratively and with civility, Harward helped Bates discover ways to translate a traditional culture of hard work, egalitarianism and social justice into greater excellence and national reputation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;There are no spectator sports at Bates,&#8221; he once said. &#8220;The College depends on participation and involvement.&#8221; Bates created 22 significant new facilities and two dozen new academic programs during Harward&#8217;s tenure. Through increased study-abroad programs, more support for student-faculty collaborations and a renowned service-learning program, students and faculty explored the world outside Bates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We reaffirmed the notion that learning carries a responsibility to the outside world,&#8221; Harward said. The LA Excels collaboration established under Harward, called &#8220;the most extensive community development project in the history of the state&#8221; by then-Maine Gov. Angus King, inspired Bates and the community to recast their relationship and identify shared aspirations; upon his retirement, the Bates Board of Trustees endowed the Donald W. and Ann M. Harward Center for Community Partnerships.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President 1989-2002 &#8211; Bates Reaches Out Prior to the Bates presidency, Donald&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"parent":150,"menu_order":4,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"_hide_ai_chatbot":false,"_ai_chatbot_style":"","associated_faculty":[],"_Page_Specific_Css":"","_bates_restrict_mod":false,"_table_of_contents_display":false,"_table_of_contents_location":"","_table_of_contents_disableSticky":false,"_is_featured":false,"footnotes":"","_bates_seo_meta_description":"","_bates_seo_block_robots":false,"_bates_seo_sharing_image_id":0,"_bates_seo_sharing_image_twitter_id":0,"_bates_seo_share_title":"","_bates_seo_canonical_overwrite":"","_bates_seo_twitter_template":""},"class_list":["post-162","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/150-years\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/162","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/150-years\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/150-years\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/150-years\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/150-years\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=162"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/150-years\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/162\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2295,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/150-years\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/162\/revisions\/2295"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/150-years\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/150"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/150-years\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=162"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
