“Every so often, you may be dutifully studying in the library when suddenly a large group of talkative middle schoolers trudges past you, led by a couple of Bates students. You might wonder what all of this commotion is about. The answer? Aspiration Days.” So begins a recent article in The Bates Student by Ellen Cabin ’28 of Penrose, North Carolina and a 2025 Bates Votes Fellow. For those who didn’t notice the article in the student newspaper, we thought we would share it here. Enjoy!
