Below you will find some highlights from the work of the Alumni Council this past academic year. Even as we begin gathering again in-person, both on campus and in our local communities, we recognize that challenges persist for many members of our Bates family, and we continue to be inspired by the many ways Batesies have rallied together to support each other and Bates. 

Through our annual awards program, this year we recognize ten alumni for their commitment to the college, service to their communities, and distinction in their careers. Their names are listed below. Four of these distinguished alumni were honored this spring and we will honor the remaining recipients either in person or virtually later in the year. Please nominate outstanding alumni<\/a> for us to consider in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three members of the Alumni Council completed their terms in June 2022; we are thankful for the dedicated service of Michael Hogan \u201985, Jeremy Chase \u201991, and Tracy O\u2019Mara Peacock \u201994, S\u201992, P\u201924, P\u201926. We also congratulate and celebrate former Council member Benjamin Robinson III \u201986, who has been selected to serve on the Bates Board of Trustees. As we say goodbye to these stellar volunteers we welcome five new members to the Alumni Council; their names are listed below. If you are interested in serving on the Council in the future, please consider submitting a nomination.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you for making our work representing Bates alumni so rewarding. Please do not hesitate to reach out to alumni@bates.edu<\/a> if you are looking for ways to be more connected or have feedback \u2014 we are here for you.

It\u2019s a great day to be a Bobcat.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
