Slideshow: This Month at Bates

We’re well into the semester — and we’re pinching ourselves. It’s been feeling like summer even though the calendar says fall, and our plates remain full with a cornucopia of academics, athletics, and all else that feeds body, mind, and soul. With these pictures, sample some of what nourishes our Bates community.
