Bates alumni are an impressive bunch, with deep knowledge and advanced skills in everything from quantum physics to craft beer. They are ambitious and committed to making the world a better place. In this series, alums can show what they know with lectures, demonstrations, networking chats, or other video content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ANTI-RACISM EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Bates community is committed to anti-racism. In response to the many requests the college has received for information and guidance, the Office of Equity and Inclusion has created this page of readings, films, podcasts, and other resources for those looking to educate themselves about racism in the US and how they can bring about change. 

This page is a group effort. Contributions come from students, alumni, staff, and faculty as well as outside sources. If you wish to contribute to this page, please email equityandinclusion@bates.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
