Hey Bobcats! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m Sacha and I\u2019ll be working at the Harward Center as the Social Media Intern for the 2021-22 academic year. This summer, I interned at the Sun Journal, and while I didn\u2019t write *this story<\/a>, I found it compelling and relevant to the work of the Harward Center. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rachel Ferrante, who graduated from Bates in 2010 with an art and visual culture degree, is the incoming executive director at Museum L-A. A NYC native, she couldn\u2019t help but fall in love when she came to Maine, for several reasons, including the quality of life, the schools, the friendliness, and the sense of community. She and her husband met at Bates and have dreamt for years of coming back to Maine to raise their kids. Their dream is now coming true. Like a true Batesie, Ferrante is pursuing new goals in her life “with ardor and devotion.” In her new position, a top priority will be to \u201chelp lead a transformational capital campaign that will shape, guide, and create outstanding programming and visitor experiences.\u201d Her goal is to make Museum L-A the jewel of Lewiston and Auburn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
