Picture Story: Back to Bates 2024
This immersive Picture Story features images from Back to Bates weekend, Sept. 28–28. Since 1920, the fall weekend has promised alumni and families the opportunity to "grow young once more."
The Bates Outing Club, founded in 1920, is a major student organization at the college. It is among the oldest collegiate outing clubs in the country and the first at a private college to include both men and women from the beginning.
The Bates Outing Club has connected hundreds of people to the college in a unique way. The stories they tell, the careers they have followed, the enduring friendships they maintain, are all testimony to the importance the BOC has had in shaping their lives.
