Bates Counselor Advisory Board

The Office of Admission established a Counselor Advisory Board (CAB) in 2022. This cohort of counselors from secondary schools and community-based organizations shares their expertise and guidance with Bates and is invited to campus once a year. Each counselor serves either a two- or three-year term on the board. Read below for more information about them!

Our school counseling colleagues can find further resources, counselor-specific events, and an overview of Bates on our Information for Counselors webpage.

For more information about Bates’ Counselor Advisory Board, contact Associate Dean of Admission Joe Spir Rechani at jspir@bates.edu.
