We’ve finally transitioned from spring to summer, and it’s absolutely beautiful here.
What makes Bates unique are its people and their business, whether it’s research, Reunion, recreation, or relaxation. Join us in enjoying these moments, from the end of Short Term through the summer solstice, that make Bates the place we want to be year-round.
