(Theophil Syslo | Bates College) OIE Welcome Reception is a way to begin the academic year in community with colleagues across campus who are long-time friends of the OIE and/or new to campus and want to be a part of building community and connective support for underrepresented racial, ethnic, LGBTQIA+, first-generation-to-college, and international Bates students. We offer this event annually and it has been a great way to ensure that all in attendance receive the message that we are ready and excited to engage with others across campus to provide a meaningful experience for each student who chooses to interact with us.
