Events at Bates

About

This aggregation of events draws from EMS/Master Calendar, GoBatesBobcats Athletics, and WordPress. The Dining, Conferences and Campus Events (DCCE) office maintains resources on the Space Reservation process and Scheduling Space on Campus.

Some of these events are open to the public, while others are limited to members of the Bates community. See event descriptions for details on audience.

Where else are events listed?

The Bate Athletics website offers Bobcat sports schedules. Links to more specific events listings — including events for prospective students and alumni — are available on our Calendars and Key Dates page.
