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.
