Greetings,

We’re writing to remind you to please complete the Transfer Student Mentor Form at your earliest convenience.

All new transfer students are assigned a Transfer Student Mentor. Their primary role is to serve as your advisor and consultant on issues relevant to acclimating to the Bates environment, primarily providing peer support and advice on a range of topics, including navigating academic support and resources, the social environment, Bates culture, and the wide array of resources available to students. They are trained to be a resource and advocate for you! Engage with yours frequently.

Help us understand where you’re coming from, and what you’re interested in at Bates to make sure your mentor is a good fit for you – submit your Transfer Student Mentor Match Form here. Please note that if you do not submit this form, a mentor will be assigned to you at random. Thank you for your attention to this.

Michael Rocque, Professor of Sociology and Associate Dean of the Faculty
Kim Trauceniek, Senior Associate Dean of Students
Nick Dressler, Associate Dean of Students for Residence Life and First-Year Experience
Luke Allen ‘22, Coordinator of Campus Life Programming and First-Year Experience
