Slideshow: What these Bates seniors will miss — and what they…

Featuring portraits by Phyllis Graber Jensen, these Bates seniors Thirteen seniors share what they’ll miss most and offer advice to the Class of 2029.

Draft for social media post: Social post for Carmona family/to run Thursday Art: combo of Phyllis fresh art from last Thursday and vintage (2018) images of young Jose at the Commencement of his siblings Christopher and Alanis Carmona. Most Thursdays, Jose Carmona ’25 of Chicago walks a few blocks from campus to visit Carmen Thibodeau at her home. They don’t share blood, but she’s been his Lewiston grandmother the whole time he’s been at Bates. “Some of my friends know that she’s not my actual grandma,” Carmona says, but others assume it. “They’ll be like, ‘Oh, you’re going to Granny’s house today?” Even before Jose came to Bates, Carmen Thibodeau — along with her late husband Richard, who died in 2022 — has represented family to three of his siblings before him, Christopher Carmona ’18, Alanis Carmona ’18 and Carolina Carmona ’22. This weekend Thibodeau will be in the audience when Jose walks across the stage in front of Coram Library and officially becomes a graduate of Bates, and she couldn’t be prouder. Since 2014, when Christopher and Alanis arrived on campus as first years, Thibodeau has been guiding this tight knit group of siblings through their Bates experience, serving up lemonade, snacks and good advice. She’s taken them on trips to family favorites like Mac’s Grill in Auburn and the Fryeburg Fair, and other Maine highlights and offered steady, enduring support and love. Look for our full story about how this relationship started, and why it won’t end, in Bates News on Friday.
