The Bates community gathered on Thursday, May 15, 2025, for a delightful springtime stroll at the stunning Kinney Faella Azalea Gardens in Rhode Island. This beautiful space, with deep ties to Betty Kinney Faella ’51 and her family, was in full bloom, providing an enchanting setting for Bobcats to reconnect.

Relive the beauty and spot your classmates in the complete photo gallery!
