Bobcat Connection: April 24, 2021
Reunion Registration Coming Soon!
Bates Virtual Reunion 2021 is June 7 – 12
Reunion is about more than a place, and it’s about more than memories. It’s about people—not only your old friendships, but also new connections with alumni who share your interests, identity, and passions.
Reunion 2021 is for all alumni—not just 1s and 6s. Registration opens May 11. Check out the awesome program line-up and join us for the festivities!
From May 4-6, you can show your support for Bates Athletics and your favorite team by being part of the FBA Giving Challenge.
As our student-athletes and coaches navigate the pandemic, they continue to show tremendous tenacity. They come together as teammates to practice, get stronger, and improve the culture within their teams. Please show your support for our student-athletes and help Bates compete at the highest level both on and off the field.

Barlow Alumni Travel Grant 2021
The Barlow Alumni Educators Travel Grant awards up to $3,500 each year to support Bates alumni in pursuing an international experience to enhance their educational and professional goals. Applications are welcome from Bates alumni who have been working in K-12 school settings or within the nonprofit sector on education-related advocacy or service for at least five years.
In 2021, in addition to travel proposals, we also invite alumni educators to seek support for local initiatives engaging members of immigrant communities in the US that have been disproportionately impacted by Covid-19. Applications are due by May 2, 2021.
