This immersive picture story captures Commencement for the Bates Class of 2024, which came in with a pandemic and went out on May 26 in high style and great happiness.
Amelia Hawkins ’24 wants her Bates classmates to graduate with a sense of hope, so she created an ivy stone design everyone can rally around: the ducks at Lake Andrews.
We are looking forward to welcoming Bates families and friends to campus in May to celebrate the Class of 2024. We will continue to update this website as more details are confirmed.
The 158th Commencement of Bates College will take place on Sunday, May 26, 2024, beginning at 10 a.m. and ending shortly after noon on the Coram Library Terrace on the Historic Quad.
