This year, on Thursday, March 14, the Bates community will come together for Bates Great Day, our annual day of giving, to show our Bobcat pride and celebrate 169 years of what we love about Bates. Get ready to bring the Bates community into your home during our annual live-stream celebration, where you’ll get to see familiar faces from campus and our beloved Bobcat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your participation at any level will contribute to the joy, support, and connection that Great Day provides to Batesies near and far.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
